Free Claudia Days of Action: Immigrant Rights Activist Kidnapped by Border Patrol
Immigrant Youth Coalition (IYC)
Dear Chris,
http://action.ndlon.org/c/1509/images/Free%20Claudia%20R%20/FreeClaudia.jpg
On the morning of Thursday, May 18, Border Patrol went into Boyle Heights communities, knocking on doors to try to locate our member, 22-year-old DACA eligible and Cal State LA student Claudia Rueda, ultimately cornering, arresting and detaining her along with other any other community members that crossed their path! This was a very traumatic experience for Claudia and other community members in Boyle Heights. Claudia is currently being detained at Otay Mesa Detention Center.
Claudia Rueda, an immigration rights activist since she was 17 years old had successfully advocated for the release of her mother and denounced the abuse practices of Border Patrol.
In the days prior to her arrest on May 18, Border Patrol agents went to Claudia’s old apartment complex to ask about her whereabouts and intimidate community members living there.
On Thursday morning, they knocked on doors, took note of the cars, and stopped people on their way to work from her previous apartment complex!
Border Patrol also went to knock on Claudia’s family’s house. The family did not open the door, as agents failed to produce a warrant. The agents then proceeded to knock on the neighbors’ homes, arresting another community member. In total, they arrested seven community members, including Claudia and three from Claudia’s previous block. Six were from Mexico and one was from Guatemala.
At that time of her arrest, Claudia was outside moving a family car, to observe the street cleaning restrictions. Three unmarked cars surrounded her, and men in plainclothes exited the vehicles and began to try to interrogate her. They asked her for her name, and identified her as their target--a 22-year-old DACA-eligible student who has lived in Los Angeles for 16 years. They kidnapped her and brought her to the Border Patrol detention site in Chula Vista, hours from her home.
These actions are unacceptable. Border Patrol continues to target Claudia’s family and community!
We must stop Border Patrol from inflicting violence in our communities!
After much advocacy demanding Border Patrol release Claudia, she has transferred to ICE custody and is currently being detained in Otay Mesa Detention Center. Her attorney has submitted a prosecutorial discretion package asking for her release in order for her to be reunited with her family and community.
