On Monday, May 9th, five undocumented youth were arrested in the office of Indiana Gov. Daniels. The five youth were there to ask to meet with the Governor regarding his support of two measures, HB1402 and SB590.
These two bills would not only deny an education to undocumented youth, but also criminalize the immigrant community. Unless Gov. Daniels vetoes the bills both will go into law this week.
Right now, all five -Lupe, Erick, Sayra, Omar and Ana Paola- are sitting in a jail on a hunger strike refusing to leave until Gov. Daniels vetoes both bills.
TAKE ACTION
1. Make a call to the Governor demanding he VETO the bills!
“Hi I am calling to ask that, instead of arresting undocumented youth, Gov. Daniels should VETO HB1402 and SB590. Thank you.”
