CHALLENGE in Arizona: Four Undocumented Immigrant Student Leaders
Resist Current Immigration Law, Urge Passage of DREAM Act
Tucson, Arizona. May 17th, on the anniversary of landmark civil
rights case Brown v. Board of Education, four undocumented student
leaders, as well as Arizona native Raul Alcaraz, will challenge
immigration law and stage a sit-in at Senator John McCain’s Tucson
Office. Lizbeth Mateo of Los Angeles, California; Tania Unzueta of
Chicago, Illinois; Mohammad Abdollahi of Ann Arbor, Michigan; and
Yahaira Carrillo of Kansas City, Missouri will challenge congressional
leadership to choose the DREAM Act (Development, Relief, and Education
for Alien Minors) as the standard for immigration reform.
With this challenge to local and federal law, these youth hope to
highlight the urgency of legislative action in Congress, and catalyze
mass grassroots mobilization to pass the DREAM Act before June 15t
