Immigrant groups protest raids

Carolyn Hileman* | January 22, 2007

Local immigrants’ rights groups say they have been working for at least three years to build a working relationship between the immigrant community and police. But after this week, that relationship has been destroyed due to recent illegal immigration raids, said Nancy Lyall, legal coordinator for the Woodbridge Workers Committee. Lyall and other representatives of the committee and Mexicans Without Borders, another local immigrants’ rights group, gathered Friday at Ricos Tacos Moyas restaurant in Woodbridge to denounce what they called illegal immigration raids at Quantico Marine Corps base and a Woodbridge apartment complex.
