NIGHTMARE ON CLUB CREEK WITH DOZENS OF PEOPLE BEING TERRORIZED BY ICE
[HOUSTON, TX] On Friday November 7 at 11:00am at FIEL Headquarters (4635 SW FREEWAY #220 HOUSTON, TX 77027) Affected Families, US citizens, Attorney Bianca Santorini, and FIEL spokespeople will be present to talk about the terror this families endured on Halloween 10/31 at the hands of ICE.
In the early morning hours of Friday October 31 ICE conducted a massive operation in Southwest Houston, From what we know about 50 families have been affected. During this operation not only were undocumented people detained but so were US citizens. A US citizens was also mazed during this encounter. We also have a confirmed report that ICE struck a van full of adults with special needs. We will have videos and pictures available for the media after the press conference.
“We are very alarmed by the tactics that ICE and these ‘federal agents’ are using to terrorize our communities. Someone is going to get seriously hurt or killed soon at the rate they are going . It is also very disturbing that they are particularly pulling people over who fit a ‘certain’ look. At this point our community is very vulnerable with the heavy ICE presence and it appears no one is safe not even US citizens. We demand accountability”- Cesar Espinosa Executive Director FIEL
