DESCRIPTION:Multi-Racial Mothers accuse Mayor Newsom and ICE of Child Abuse of our 
 Immigrant Youth\n\n“Immigrant children, like all children, are our 
 children, our responsibility, our future. With his rejection of this 
 legislation, Newsom condemns our children to ongoing abuse and unending 
 criminalization, said Lisa Gray-Garcia, single mother and executive 
 director of POOR Magazine.\n\nThousands of community members, advocates and 
 fellow board members in an 8-2 vote on October 20th supported Supervisor 
 David Campos' Legislation to give due process to immigrant youth who face 
 arrest in San Francisco before Immigration and Customs Enforcement is 
 contacted.  After the vote Mayor Gavin Newsom publicly stated that he would 
 not follow the legislation and that it had no merit, which means their will 
 be increased attacks and ongoing abuse of the basic civil rights of our 
 immigrant children.\n\nIn response to the Mayors statements, a 
 cross-cultural coalition of mothers and fathers are publicly accusing the 
 mayor and ICE of child abuse and criminalization of our immigrant children 
 and youth as the impact of deportation and incarceration without due 
 process is a serious form of abuse.\n\n“Immigrant children are 
 everyones’ children,” said Kim Swan, mother of three African-American 
 children.\n\n“Why do they continue to criminalize our babies, this is a 
 form of child abuse,” said Ingrid DeLeon, mother of four immigrant 
 children.\n\nPOOR Magazine ia non-profit, grassroots organization providing 
 media access, education and advocacy for youth, adults and elders in 
 poverty in the Bay Area.\n
