QC immigration march canceled; deportation fears

Carolyn Hileman* | April 30, 2007

An immigration rights march scheduled for Tuesday has been canceled because some people were afraid of getting deported. The decision differs greatly from last May, when more than 3,000 Hispanic immigrants and their supporters marched from Rock Island to LeClaire Park in Davenport for the ‘Day of Unity.’ They and thousands more across the country protested against proposals to make illegally entering the United States a felony. Federal agents have cracked down more and more on illegal immigrants in the past several months.
