SF Protest to Stop the Special Re-registrations
On Wednesday, November 19, a hundred people gathered in front of the San Francisco BICE (INS) Building in support of a noontime press conference to protest the beginning of the special re-registrations of immigrants from mainly Muslim countries.
Last year special registrations meant humiliation, detentions and brutality for many of the nearly 90,000 who registered. In the end, about 13,000 faced deportation proceedings—yet not a single “suspected terrorist” was among them. Now these same people are being persecuted again.
San Francisco's protest was one of many that happened nationally, including New York City:
