Victor Toro Released On Bail!

So real quick. Victor was detained in one of many
random immigration raids, by ICE, which are very
quickly becoming the standard in the continued racist
anti-immigration strategies employed by the office of
Homeland Security. Victor was detained with many
others on an Amtrak Train. Yesterday, Tuesday July
10th, Victor was released on bail, and we received him
here in the Bronx at "Sisters on the Rise". Of course
Victor said that his arrest should not be used to
focus on him as a figure, but rather to highlight the
plight of immigrants and American civil society, in
the wake of legislation and political postures , which
threaten the civil and human rights of every single
one of us, with further militarization and systems of
control. Thank you all for your support, and immediate
attention. These are the types of responses we need to
foster, anytime any single one of our community
members are harassed, detained, brutalized, or
murdered by local, state, and federal authorities.
