On Sept. 23, Los Angeles activists and progressive organizations held a protest to join the week of actions around the country in solidarity with Haitian refugees at the Texas border.
The protest was held at the LA County Courthouse, where U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla’s office is located, in order to send a message to the Biden administration demanding the immediate end of deportations and the inhuman, racist and genocidal treatment of Haitian refugees by the Border Patrol.
Who let the cops in? Pride is political, not only parade and parties. #pride #queersagainstborders #stopdeportations #humanrights #helsinkipride2017 #helsinkipride

On Sept. 29, Baltimore activists joined the Emergency Week of Actions for Haitian Refugees by staging a protest at City Hall.
It became a “people’s assembly,” representing both West and East Baltimore, and called for the mayor and City Council to pass a resolution welcoming Haitian refugees, condemning the racist violence by the Border Patrol, and denouncing Biden’s deportations and plans to imprison refugees at Guantanamo.
Students at Desert View High School in Tucson walked out of class in support of a classmate detained by the Border Patrol.
More than 120 students walked out of Desert View High School on Monday morning to protest the Border Patrol's detention of one of their classmates just weeks before he's scheduled to graduate.
Pima County Sheriff's deputies pulled over Thomas Torres Maytorenafor a traffic stop on Thursday night near Alvernon Way and Drexel Road. He was driving his mom's car with two of of his friends when he was pulled over, according to his classmates.
"They held him in a cop car," said Irvyn Rivas, a senior at Desert View who was with Torres when he was pulled over. "They started calling Border Patrol and everything and we were like, 'What for?' And they didn't answer us."
The students carried signs and banners with his name. During a brief rally, they demanded that the immigration officials release Torres without bail so he could return to class.
Torres Maytorena, a senior at Desert View, had been expected to graduate on May 22.
"All of this is unnecessary, if they could just let him go, because this does not need to to happen," said Daffne Anselmo, another classmate. "He should be in school right now. ... He should be learning and finishing his couple of days off, we just want him to graduate."
The students demanded an end to the cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration officials.

Union women speak: Organizing to keep TPS
By Phebe Eckfeldt and Sam Ordóñez
Temporary protected status (TPS) was enacted in the U.S. in 1990 when Congress established a procedure to provide deportation relief to immigrants unable to return safely to their home countries due to war, violence, the aftermath of natural disasters or other dangerous conditions. Some of the countries covered by TPS include Haiti, El Salvador, Honduras, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.
In January, Trump decided to cancel TPS completely, effective sometime in 2019, with protection for some countries ending sooner. Over 250,000 Salvadorans will be affected by this. Many came to the U.S. after a devastating earthquake in 2001.
Workers World spoke on April 28 with two union organizers at Harvard University who are leaders in the Harvard TPS Coalition and who migrated from El Salvador. Doris is a leader in Service Employees Union 32BJ, which represents the custodians, and Marta is a leader in UNITE HERE Local 26, which represents the dining hall workers.
