Peninsula | Immigrant RightsMay Day in Mountain View: Stop S-Comm!
Carrying signs in Spanish, Chinese, English, and Tagalog, demonstrators called out for immigrant rights on May Day in Mountain View, California. Marchers carried signs that said "Stop S-Comm" and "Equality for All" in a rally for immigrant rights in Mountain View, California yesterday. They called for people to join the fight against the unjust deportation system, and demanded the cessation of the S-Comm program.
During the Obama administration, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) got the green light to partner with police through a federal fingerprinting program called “Secure Communities," or S-Comm. The program has been plagued with controversy. S-Comm encourages racial profiling and discourages reporting of domestic abuse. Protesters said that in addition, it tears families apart. The Raging Grannies sang two songs, one calling for drivers licenses for all who pass the DMV test, regardless of immigration status. The event was organized by members of the Mountain View Day Worker Center.
