Portland, Ore--Over 100 people including union members and immigrant and human rights advocates turned-out today at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in Portland to call for a halt to deportations of hard-working immigrants and a stop to killings of immigrants by U.S. Border Agents.
The March and Rally was organized by CAUSA, Oregon's Immigrant Rights Coalition, Rural Organizing Project, and SEIU Local 503 OPEU. The groups called on Congress and President Obama for a humane solution to the nation's broken immigration system by passing comprehesive immigration reform.

Thanks for the support!
I would have loved to be at this, I was near by - but I didn't know about it. Is there anyway you can text people next time this is planned or get out the notice earlier. Heather Dominguez - American Families United Oregon Chapter President - http://oregon.americanfamiliesunited.org/
