Miami-Dade college student whines about family getting busted by ICE
Blows my mind. She's here from Ecuador on a student visa. Her family, at least 4 of them, are here ILLEGALLY. She's a student activist complaining about our immigration laws. I didn't see anything in the article that says whether or not her family got tossed.
Dear ICE,
Please cancel her visa and toss her, too. No reason to split up families. tee-hee
A Miami-Dade College student on Tuesday accused immigration authorities of targeting her family for deportation because of her activism on behalf of illegal immigrant students.
Gaby Pacheco, 23, is a native of Ecuador and in the U.S. on a student visa. She has long spoken out in favor of immigration reform and the so-called "dream act," which would allow students brought to the country illegally as young children to eventually become citizens. Through her activism, Pacheco has traveled to Washington, D.C. and been interviewed on TV.
Her allegations stem from an August 2006 immigration raid at her Miami home. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents told the family then that they were searching for another immigrant with a name similar to several of Pacheco's relatives. They ended up detaining her parents and two sisters instead. All four are here illegally.
