Undocumented immigrants continue to be prosecuted by US Attorney Kenneth Polite facing felony reentry charges and permanent separation from their partners and children in the New Orleans area for exposing the unconstitutional nature of their arrests.

William Diaz Castro, Jose Isaias Lara-Serrano, and Yoni Manzanares endured abusive arrests at the hands of local Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. Although they bravely exposed the unconstitutional nature of their arrests (now under investigation by the Department of Homeland Security), they continue to be prosecuted by US Attorney Kenneth Polite facing felony reentry charges and permanent separation from their partners and children in the New Orleans area.

WTUL News and Views were on site to capture voices of families and members of the community speak out at a 24 hour vigil about the injustices of deportation and detention.
