Ideally, the members should would not be detained, if the Immigration and Customs enforcement office was following the discretionary guidelines provided by the administration. Well, that’s not what happened. Here’s their story along with their video. Let’s get them home.aioymo07g9i1zfm85qr760eu10wmwoep

Meet Isaac Barrera and Jonathan Perez, youth from California. You actually know both of them, they were participants in a San Bernardino civil disobedience action. This past Thursday both of them walked into a Mobile, Alabama Border Patrol office protesting against HB56. Both were detained and, within hours, transferred to the Basile immigration detention center in Southern Louisiana. ow4c9rbo45n0zsyxrcbsmlddirurca6w
