Re: Martin and Israel Centeno are two
DACA recipients with the appropriate identification to travel and work in the
United States. They also had a driver’s license from California
which permitted them to drive lawfully.
They were
followed to a gas station in Blythe California by the Border Patrol positioned
at the California - Arizona border. They were detained and transferred to a
Border Patrol holding cell where they were interrogated and ridiculed until
finally being released 8 hours later.
The Barrio
Defense Committees and Attorney Gabriel Sayavedra will send a letter to the
Justice Department to ask for an investigation of this incident and any other
incidents concerning DACA recipients by Border Patrol officers.
The
students will be present at the Press Conference.
