From PCASC: As May Day approaches, ICE (aka la migra, formerly known as the INS) is picking up their campaign of raids targeting the Latino community. While the aim of these raids is to terrorize immigrant communities and scare them behind closed doors, they have only made people more determined: this May Day we will stand up once again for immigrant and worker rights. See event details below. Push and Pull: Free Trade and the Immigration Debate Thursday April 19, 2007 6:30 PM AFSCME Offices, 6025 E.
