(Tucson, Arizona) –Narciso is a 38-year-old Yaqui day laborer and father from Tucson, Arizona, where he has lived for over 14 years. He is a part of the Southside Worker’s Center, as a volunteer and organizer. In April of this year they were coming back from a job, when they got lost and ran into an immigration check point near the border, and was detained by Border Patrol, along with 4 other co-workers. He was taken to the Eloy Detention Center, and was eventually bonded out by members of the worker’s center. Since then he has been fighting his own deportation and volunteering with the Center. He was also one of the participants of the recent fast against deportations, where he did not eat for 5 days. “I don’t want there to be more deportations. Our children suffer. I don’t want people to go through what I did. We need deportations to stop.”
