A temporary injunction is currently in place until February 12. At the hearing, the judge will determine whether to extend the injunction or rescind it and permit ICE to incarcerate Joaquin, separating him from his U.S. citizen family. We hope to pack the court to envelop Joaquin and his family with support!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brief Hx:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joaquin arrived in the United States when he was about 10 years old, when he was brought from Mexico to Los Banos, CA. He became a lawful permanent resident (\u201cLPR\u201d) and enlisted in the U.S. Navy. He served the United States on board the USS Tarawa and was deployed to Iraq, Kuwait, and Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. He received several medals, including the Navy Unit Commendation Medal, Good Conduct Medal, Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal, and Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, among others. He believed when he enlisted that service in the military would provide automatic citizenship. In fact, he may have been told by military officials that he was already a U.S. Citizen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since being released, Joaquin has focused full time on his rehabilitation. He completed a 6-month in-patient rehabilitation program, continues to attend domestic violence offender classes, and regularly meets with mental health professionals at the VA. His VA social worker has written that he is \u201camong the most remarkable veterans I have worked with, and his resilience, perseverance, and hard work have resulted in him meeting and exceeding his many goals.\u201d Joaquin has also advocating for other immigrants in similar situations as his, speaking in congregations and speaking to public officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow the Central Valley&#8217;s support for Joaquin and his family below:<br>Tuesday, February 12, 2019, at 9AM-<br>Accompany Joaquin at his ICE check-in at ICE Fresno Sub Office:<br>2440 Tulare Street<br>Fresno, CA 93721<br>Visit the FB page for more information:&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/222386288715910\/\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/222386288715910\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sponsors: Interfaith Movement for Human Integrity &amp; Pangea Legal Services<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Info:&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/1988751417827905\/\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/1988751417827905\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2.&nbsp; Monday, 12Noon \u2013 1:00pm,&nbsp;Living Graveyard<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oakland Federal Building<br>1301 Clay Street (nr. 12<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;St. BART)<br>Oakland<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Covered with sheets to represent the dead of the war of occupation on Iraq, people lie down on the city sidewalk in front of the Federal Building, This is legal, non-violent witness<strong><em>&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong>Please bring a white sheet to cover yourself with.&nbsp; A pad to lie on is recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Iraqi Deaths 3,102,080<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>U.S. Deaths 4,566 &nbsp;Coalition 4,889<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Syrian Deaths, unknown &nbsp;\u2022&nbsp;Afghan Deaths 30,000&nbsp;+&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pakistani Deaths over 1,000 from drone attacks &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Palestinian Deaths Thousands<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>U.S. Deaths in Afghanistan&nbsp;&nbsp;2,419<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coalition Deaths in Afghanistan&nbsp;&nbsp;3,56`<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Itching for a fight with Iran<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his State of the Union speech Trump said, \u201c18 years ago, violent terrorists attacked the USS Cole.&nbsp; .&nbsp; .&nbsp; .&nbsp; My administration has acted decisively to confront the world\u2019s leading state sponsor of terror, the radical regime in Iran.&nbsp; .&nbsp; . . &nbsp;They do bad, bad things.

The Abe government has claimed that it has \u201cdecontaminated&#8221; Fukushima and is coercing the refugees and their children and families to return to the area or lose their housing subsidies. The facts are that the melted nuclear rods are still highly dangerous and hot requiring thousands of tons of water. The government wants to release this radioactive water which is in hundreds of tanks surround the plants into the Pacifica ocean despite the opposition of fisherman and the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to get the 2020 Olympics the Abe government claimed that Fukushima problem had been solved and that it was \u201cdecontaminated\u201d. This is was an overt brazen lie and falsification of the real situation and show the real political charter of the Abe government.&nbsp;<br>At the same time, there is an increase in the amount of cesium in the waters around Fukushima nearly eight years after the explosion of the nuclear plants and contamination of Fukushima, Japan and the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Abe government is also pushing for militarization and removal of Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution that prevents military interventions outside Japan. They are also pushing for a new US military base in Okinawa despite the opposition of the mass of Okinawan people and the governor. This base would also have US nuclear ships and weapons which is presently against the US Japan Security Agreement. The US has already violated this agreement many times and used Okinawa as a base for illegal wars around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Info:&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indybay.org\/newsitems\/2019\/02\/08\/18821037.php\">https:\/\/www.indybay.org\/newsitems\/2019\/02\/08\/18821037.php<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4.&nbsp; Monday, 5:00pm \u2013 6:00pm, Rally prior to Taser Forum: Demand Truth and Transparency of DA, Sheriff&nbsp;<\/strong><strong><em>(See item #&nbsp;5)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>400 County Center<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rally in Courtyard<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Redwood City<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rally prior to San Mateo County Taser Forum to demand Truth and Transparency in San Mateo County from all elected officials: SMC Board of Supervisors, District Attorney, Sheriff and Coroner<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tasers used by law enforcement have resulted in the recent deaths of 3 people in San Mateo County: Chinedu Okobi &#8211; Oct 3, 2018, Warren Ragudo \u2013 Jan 16, 2018, and Ramsey Saad \u2013 August 13, 2018.&nbsp;<br><br>#Justice4Chinedu, the Raging Grannies Action League, and members of the faith community call on District Attorney Wagstaffe to immediately release all the videos and 911 Call logs for Oct 3, 2018 in the matter of the murder of Chinedu Valentine Okobi, on Oct 3, 2018 in Millbrae, CA by five (5) SMC Sheriff Deputies.&nbsp;<br><br>#Justice4Chinedu explains: \u201cIt has been over 120 days since the murder of Chinedu Valentine Okobi at the hands of San Mateo County Sheriff&#8217;s officers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Info:&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indybay.org\/newsitems\/2019\/02\/05\/18820994.php\">https:\/\/www.indybay.org\/newsitems\/2019\/02\/05\/18820994.php<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5.&nbsp; Monday, 5:00pm, San Mateo County Board of Supervisors Taser Study Session<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><strong><em>(See item # 4)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>400 County Center \u2013 First Floor<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Redwood City<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Must go through building security<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Long overdue, the SMC Supes have decided to have a COMMUNITY Study Session on the use of Tasers, by county Law enforcement.

President Trump and a coalition of regional allies in Latin America, anchored by right-wing governments in Brazil and Colombia, immediately recognized Guaid\u00f3 as the country&#8217;s new president. It is now apparent that Guaid\u00f3 had been plotting this take-over with forces in the US,, Colombia and Brazil. The US government has announced billions of dollars in new sanctions against the country&#8217;s state-owned oil company PDVSA aimed at crippling Venezuela&#8217;s economy, while cynically offering to provide humanitarian aid, and has appointed notorious cold warrior Elliott Abrams as the US special envoy responsible for &#8220;restoring democracy in Venezuela&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Venezuela is undoubtedly experiencing an unprecedented political and economic crisis. The response from much of the Left within the United States has largely been one of confusion and silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>conversation will be led by:&nbsp;<br>&#8221; Carolina Morales, queer Venezuelan organizer&nbsp;<br>&#8221; Roberto Lovato, a writer and journalist based at the San Francisco Writers&#8217; Grotto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Info:&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/2293612047538362\/\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/2293612047538362\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>10.
