FREE SAID ZAIM-SASSI, STOP THE RAIDS
What: Protest and March from Immigration Court to Senator Lieberman's Office
When: 8:00 am Friday 31 August, 2007
Where: in front of Immigration Court, 450 Main Street, Hartford
At around 5:00 am on August 20, ICE agents raided the Zaim family home in Wallingford, CT
searching for Said Zaim-Sassi.
His terrified children woke as ICE shined flashlights in their faces, yelling profanities.
In the 20 years he has lived in the U.S., Said has had absolutely no criminal record
and has been completely compliant with immigration requirements.
His work and charity have benefited many in his community.
ICE has treated him and his family like criminals.
His three kids and his wife, all U.S. citizens, don't know when they will see him again.
ICE's actions, designed to instill fear in the community, rip families apart.
Community members and activists from throughout Connecticut
will be in front of Immigration Court in Hartford on Friday August 31
to demand the release of Said Zaim-Sassi and other innocents like him in detention.
We will not allow our neighbors, our friends, and our family to be treated like animals.
Immigrants are workers, not criminals. Stop the Raids.
Sponsored by Unidad Latina en Accion, Stop The Raids-Trinity College, Middle East Crisis Committee.
