In Suffern, a forum tomorrow on 287(g)

May
6

Latino advocates are planning a community forum tomorrow night on the plan to have local police trained on immigration enforcement under the federal 287(g) program. Organizer Biensy Rosa, who owns a business in town, said she wants to put pressure on local politicians to oppose Mayor John Keegan’s proposal. Rosa has been working with the group Community Power.

“Now we have to get political,” Rosa said today. She plans to work with Latino Democrats to help immigrants in Suffern register to vote and to obtain a tax identification number if they are eligible for one. Tomorrow’s forum begins at 7:30 p.m. at Tagaste Monastery. Among those attending is Damon Jones of Westchester Blacks In Law Enforcement.
