Check out this article (featured on the front page of the New York Times) that highlights the story of Arturo, who has been fighting his deportation case, and the human toll of Secure Communities. Secure Communities had become a liability, causing separations of long-settled immigrant families, fraying relations with local police departments and generating damaging legal challenges. In a Nov. 20 memorandum canceling the program, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said it had become a symbol for general hostility toward the enforcement of our immigration laws. Special thanks to our friends at AFSC & Coloradans for Immigrant Rights and Metro Denver Sanctuary Coalition for their great work on this issue. nytimes/2015/01/16/us/secure-communities-immigration-program-battle.html?&target=comments&hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&modref=HPCommentsRefer&module=photo-spot-region®ion=top-news&WT.nav=top-news&_r=1#commentsContainer
