So, as we were getting up from our late morning nap, the keeper was hauling back down to Seattle to the Town Hall, so she could be part of the visit of Illinois US Representative Luis Gutierrez and the rally with him for Comprehensive Immigration Reform. She said that 4 people told horribly moving stories of their loved ones being physically removed from their homes at gunpoint by ICE and sent to immigration detention and then deported back home to whichever country they hailed from. One young man told of being awakened with a gun at his back by ICE authorities. Rep. Gutierrez was very inspiring, and raised the fact that all of us must challenge the President to stop deporting undocumented college students as well as many others. She came home inspired.
