ICE Raids: Almost Like Waterboarding?
New Haven’s mayor said they’re “a short step” away as he squared off against his dramatic foil, Danbury’s immigration-battling mayor, at a forum in Hartford.
New Haven Mayor John DeStefano was describing a June 6 raid by ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) officials of undocumented workers 36 hours after the city’s Board of Aldermen approved an immigration-friendly municipal ID plan. He made the suggestion at a debate Wednesday entitled “Illegal Immigration: How Cities Are Coping.”
SPECIAL BONUS: Video Game
Breakthrough (www.breakthrough.tv), an international human rights organization, today launched its compelling video game, ICED! (I Can End Deportation), to help reframe the immigration debate in the United States and ensure due process and fairness for all those who live in the country. The game is available for free download at www.icedgame.com.
Designed to spark dialogue and create awareness of unfair U.S. immigration policies, ICED! I Can End Deportation (a play on the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Department), is a free, 3D downloadable game that teaches players about current immigration laws on detention and deportation that affect legal permanent residents, asylum seekers, students and undocumented people by violating human rights and denying due process.
