The People’s Court for Crimes Against Immigrants
On September 25th, DRUM YouthPower! members organized a People’s Court to hold President Obama and Senator Chuck Schumer accountable to their actions and inaction when it comes to the undocumented immigrant community. Every day 1,100 people are deported and under the current Obama administration, over 2,000,000 people have been deported. Over 80 DRUM members and allies came out to be a part of the peoples court outside of Senator Schumer’s office to demand justice for all immigrants.
THE PEOPLE’S COURT TRIED PRES. OBAMA AND SEN. SCHUMER FOR CRIMES AGAINST IMMIGRANTS
Pres. Barack Obama:
– For deporting 2+ million immigrants – GUILTY!
– For choosing party politics over people – GUILTY!
– For delaying executive action for Administrative Relief – GUILTY!
Sen. Chuck Schumer:
– For prioritizing profits over people, by pushing for billions for increased enforcement while taking campaign contributions from private prison industry – GUILTY!
– For writing harmful legislation and promoting enforcement – GUILTY!
– For remaining silent to the President’s delay of Admin Relief – GUILTY!
The People’s Court found both defendants GUILTY on all counts
