I hope you will donate today to support our independent journalism.Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations today will be TRIPLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $45. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Supporters Demand ICE Release Undocumented Activist Eduardo Samaniego

HeadlineJan 25, 2019

Immigrants rights activists are calling for the release of Eduardo Samaniego, a 26-year-old undocumented immigrant and community activist who faces a possible deportation at an ICE hearing today. Samaniego moved to the U.S. from Mexico by himself at age 16, and after graduating as his high school class valedictorian, he went on to organize on behalf of undocumented young people known as DREAMers. Samaniego was arrested three months ago and detained by ICE, and was recently transferred to a for-profit mental health facility in South Carolina, where his mental and physical health are reportedly deteriorating. Samaniego’s supporters call him a political prisoner who’s being targeted by the Trump administration for his activism.
