I'd thought you'd be interested in these events taking place this week, regarding the May immigration raid in Postville, Iowa. One series of events will be at DePaul University Tuesday November 18th and the other will be at Hull House Thursday November 20th. (See details below) Also I've been informed that Pedro Arturo Lopez a 13 year old child from Postville has been added as a panel speaker for one of the DePaul panels -- don't know which one. Dr Erik Camayd-Freixas, the interpreter called to translate at the court hearings that followed the raid at AgriProcessors and who penned the widely circulated essay of his account of what happened there, will be speaking at both events. Please forward this information and I hope you can make it!

ERIK CAMAYD-FREIXAS Thursday, November 20, 2008 5:30-7pm Jane Addams Hull-House Museum Residents' Dining Hall 800 S. Halsted Reservations recommended. Please call 312.413.5353. SPANISH TRANSLATION WILL BE PROVIDED. Lecture and discussion with Dr. Erik Camayd-Freixas of Florida International University, with short presentations by Mary Meg McCarthy, Executive Director of the National Immigrant Justice Center, and John Sorensen, editor of the recently published Grace Abbott Reader. On May 12, 2008, the largest immigration raid in U.S. history took place in Postville, Iowa , at Agriprocessors, Inc., the nation's largest kosher meatpacking plant. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents raided the plant and arrested 389 undocumented immigrants, who were then put into fast-tracked criminal and deportation hearings. Dr. Erik Camayd-Freixas was one of the federally certified interpreters called to translate in the aftermath of the raid. In his widely circulated essay "Interpreting after the Largest ICE Raid in U.S. History: A Personal Account," Dr. Camayd speaks out against the proceedings, denouncing the criminalization of workers, current immigration enforcement tactics, and the politics of intolerance. Dr. Camayd will share his experiences as part of the Immigrants' Protective League Centennial Celebration. The IPL was an immigrants' rights organization founded by Grace Abbott and other Hull-House residents in 1908. The IPL provided legal aid, employment assistance, citizenship and English classes, and fought against raids and deportations. The IPL later merged with Traveler's Aid Society and is now the National Immigrant Justice Center of Heartland Alliance. Dr. Erik Camayd-Freixas is Professor of Latin American Literature, Director of the Translation & Interpretation Program, and Director of the Research Initiative on Immigration Reform at Florida International University . A Harvard-trained analyst, prolific author, and expert linguist at federal and state courts, Dr. Camayd has trained more than 3,000 interpreters and regularly works on Spanish television broadcasts of presidential speeches, debates, and special events. He has interpreted internationally for eight different heads of state, as well as for Pope Benedict XVI. Dr. Camayd was one of 16 interpreters who served the full two weeks at the Postville Iowa hearings after Immigration and Customs Enforcement conducted the largest single-site immigration raid in U.S. history, at AgriProcessors, Inc. He made international headlines with his essay, "Interpreting after the Largest ICE Raid in U.S. History: A Personal Account," denouncing the criminalization of workers, and deconstructing the totalitarian agenda of immigration enforcement and the politics of intolerance of what he calls "a dark period in American history." Mary Meg McCarthy has served as the director of NIJC since 1998 and oversees all aspects of NIJC's legal services and advocacy on behalf of immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers as well as programmatic and operational functions of NIJC. Under Mary Meg's direction, NIJC has built a pro bono network of more than 700 attorneys in Chicago alone and has become the leading immigrant and human rights program in the Midwest . Prior to joining NIJC in 1998, Mary Meg practiced civil litigation at the law firm of Horvath & Lieber and served as a pro bono attorney for NIJC's asylum project. Mary Meg is a 1989 graduate of Loyola University School of Law and is licensed by the State of Illinois . John Sorensen is the Executive Director of the Abbott Sisters Project in New York City . He has written and lectured extensively on the lives and work of Grace and Edith Abbott. He has most recently edited the Grace Abbott Reader, published by the University of Nebraska Press in 2008.
