Press Release

 Activists:  Deport illegal aliens Rosa Ramirez, Jorge Ibarra   

 The Illinois Minuteman Project is calling on the Chicago office U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to immediately arrest Rosa Ramirez and Jorge Ibarra, who have admitted to being in this country in violation of our immigration laws.  They are burglars who have broken into this country and have stolen jobs and wages from native-born workers.

On Nov. 8 ICE officials told Channel 2's Mike Flannery that Ramirez and Ibarra are at the bottom of their priority list, and we find that irresponsible and unacceptable. We ask that concerned citizens call ICE's Chicago office at 312-385-1701 and ask the Field Office Director to enforce our immigration laws rather than offering weak excuse for why they can't.

 We also condemn the actions of Father Brendan Curran and Joshua Hoyt of the Illinois Coalition of Immigrant and Refugee Rights for their role in aiding and abetting illegal aliens, which is a violation of federal law.

 The Minuteman Project is one of many multi-ethnic groups of American volunteers nationally who support strict enforcement of our immigration laws.
