NO!
- criminalization of immigration and looking for work

WHEN: July 8, Saturday, 5 pm
WHERE: Costa Mesa, corner of 19th and Placentia, in front of
El Metate Market
WHO: Costa Mesa residents, Tonantzin Collective
WHAT: March Against Militarization
WHY: Bush plans to send 6,000 troops to patrol civil society along
the Mexican border. Costa Mesa Mayor Alan Mansoor, a member
of the Minuteman Project vigilante hate group, calls for an even greater
deployment.* Mansoor also voted to deputize local Costa Mesa
officers with federal immigration enforcement duties and to close the
Job Center. We feel this is an attack on our community.
Protest the Mayors anti-immigrant, pro-military agenda!
Mansoor
alleges that the MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) with ICE
(Immigration and Customs Enforcement) will only affect aggravated
felons. However, this arrangement provides no protection for victims
of crimes, witnesses to crimes or suspects taken into custody but never
convicted of any offense.
Mansoor and the City Council have ties to border vigilantes
and Martin Millard, a white supremacist author.** We are concerned
that this program will arbitrarily target Costa Mesas largely immigrant
and working class community.
