Rally: Support Immigrant Rights – Support Joe Callahan
4200 Cedar Ave. S, Minneapolis, MN
On July 31, 2011, after two Salvadoran immigrants went to Canada to apply for asylum, long-time Twin Cities activist Joe Callahan was arrested by Canadian police at the Pigeon River border station. At the time Joe was alone in his car. Joe was charged with “aiding and abetting an immigration without a visa,” and “providing false and misleading information.” Joe spent a month in jail, during which the charge of “smuggling” or “human trafficking” was added. Joe Callahan is NOT a human trafficker! Joe is NOT a smuggler! Drop the charges! Joe is a political activist concerned about the rights of immigrants. He needs the help of all supporters of democratic rights. Come to this event to learn more about Joe’s case and to show your support.

Mitin para apoyar los derechos de los inmigrantes y apoyar Joe Callahan
4200 Cedar Ave. S, Minneapolis, MN
El 31 de julio 2011 despues de que dos inmigrantes salvadoreños fueron a Canadá para pedir asilo, el activista de Minneapolis Joe Callahan fue arrestado por la policía canadiense en la frontera con Canadá. Joe estuvo sólo en su carro. Le acusan a Joe de “ayudar con una migración sin visa” y “dar información falsa”. Joe paso un mes en la carcel en Canada y le pusieron otros cargos más de “comercio de contrabando” y “traficante humano”. Joe Callahan no es traficante humano! No es “contrabandista”! Exigimos que retiren los cargos ya! Joe es un activista política dedicado a los derechos de los inmigrantes. Necesita la ayuda de todos que apoyan los derechos democráticos.
