(Tucson, Arizona) – Francisco is a 43-year-old day laborer who has lived in Tucson, Arizona for 8 years. He has been with the Southside Worker’s Center since its beginnings, 6 years ago, volunteering his time and organizing skills. Earlier in the year he was part of the fast for a moratorium on deportations. Francisco is also in deportation proceedings. He was detained along with Narciso, by the Border Patrol and taken to an immigration detention center, and has been fighting his deportation with the Southside Worker’s Center. “I believe in helping each other. In Tucson, I see other people being stopped every day. Just on my way here, the car I was in was pulled over by the police, and we were asked for our papers. I showed them my deportation papers and they let me go. They do this to every immigrant every day, and it needs to stop.”
