For months, the local community has marched and petitioned and asked for dialogue only to be ignored by the Sheriff. Even media has been locked out from any information. And so, our oldest and yougest riders, Maria Huerta (65) and Alejandro Guizar (19) alongside two more people from Knoxville, Maricela Lou (52) and Frances Ashely (65), performed civil disobedience with a banner that says "No Papers No Fear" outside the Sheriff's office because the migrant community will not be ignored. *Please Call ICE and tell them not to pursue cases against any of the No Papers No Fear arrestees in Knoxville.* 202.732.3000 *Call Sheriff JJ Jones and to tell him not to turn the arrestees over to ICE if they get holds placed on them. *865-971-3901 And *Sign the Petition<http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=gqIw4fkqP1UhUUxsupVM4zqpiGIfjFxq> * to Keep them Out of Deportation Proceedings * *Community leaders deserve relief not deportation no matter what age they are. Maria Huerta says, "Even at 65 I am not scared to spend a night in jail if this means that my experience is known and my voice is heard. Alejandro Guizar is a 19 year old Tennessean. At the press conference he explained, We have tried to meet with the Sheriff for the last 6 months with no response. So now we are coming to him. He'll have to make a decision. Will he turn us over to immigration or will he recognize our dignity as human beings? *Sign the petition to keep them out of deportation proceedings<http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=uf%2Byfsl4ox%2F8RCvxZTQp68po1NAhQF7e> * The risk riders took today is one that undocumented immigrants face every day, the difference is that when undocumented people come out publicly, we're part of an organized community. It will be up to us to make sure the government use's its discretion and treats them with the respect they deserve. *PLEASE TELL SHERIFF JONES RESPECT THE MIGRANT COMMUNITY. **Call **865-971-3901** and tell him not to turn the No Papers No Fear arrestees over to ICE.** * *Suggested Script: My name is ____, and I am calling from ____ in support of.
