Isabel Cárdenas Statement in Support of Maya – Facing 7 Years in Prison for a Protest in Support of Immigrants
January 13, 2019 by Refuse Fascism
Maya faces seven years in prison for a SILENT PROTEST IN SUPPORT OF IMMIGRANTS. Meanwhile the demonizing, verbal and physical attacks on immigrants have escalated since the Trump/Pence Regime was imposed on the citizenry of this country by the Electoral College Vote. First it was DACA, now immigrant families who search for a life free of poverty and so much violence by seeking asylum in this country are, instead, having their children Caged, Tortured, and Sexually Abused by ICE, following orders of the Trump/Pence Administration.The last phrase in the U.S. Pledge of Allegiance states “ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.” Neither what is stated in the Pledge of Allegiance nor the Constitution is now being practiced or respected! There is no Liberty or Justice when citizens of a particular group such as Maya, a member of the Revolution Club, are arrested and face incarceration for exercising their LIBERTY AND RIGHT OF FREEDOM OF SPEECH. The citizens of this country ARE NO LONGER INDIVISIBLE, UNDER GOD; they are being divided and their Human Rights are constantly violated. AND WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO ASYLUM FOR REFUGEES? WHAT IS BEING DONE TO MAYA IS AN OUTRAGE AND A VIOLATION OF HER RIGHT OF LIBERTY AND FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION.
ALL CHARGES MUST BE DROPPED NOW!
RESPECTFULLY,
ISABEL CÁRDENAS
80-YEAR-YOUNG AMERICAN-SALVADORAN/USA CITIZEN
