FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

ABLE Prays for an End to Unjust Deportations

Atlanta, GA, January 16, 2009 – Atlantans Building Leadership for Empowerment (ABLE) will hold a prayer vigil on Wednesday, January 21st 2009 at 10am at the Atlanta ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) office located at 180 Spring Street, SW. ABLE leaders, pastors, and concerned citizens will pray for the
following:

• An end to the 26-day fast-tracking of deportations currently taking place in Gwinnett County.
• Gwinnett County will not enter into the 287(g) agreement with ICE.
• Comprehensive Immigration Reform at the federal level, including smart enforcement and a path to citizenship. ABLE will be joining organizations across the country on that day to pray for comprehensive reform.

On January 12th, 2009, ICE and Sheriff Butch Conway began a collaborative effort to empty the Gwinnett County jail of undocumented immigrants. ABLE understands that this stepped up enforcement effort was initiated by ICE. It is an effort to expedite the approval of the sheriff’s request for a 287(g) agreement. Sheriff Conway requested approval for 287(g) in March 2008. The county has been awaiting approval since that time because it has not met ICE requirements

ABLE opposes both the 26-day fast-track expulsion program and the 287(g) agreement in Gwinnett and all Georgia counties. The fast-tracking measure was timed immediately before the change of our country’s administration, when we know that ICE will revise its tactics. Partial and insufficient solutions to the broken federal immigration system are prone to human rights violations like racial profiling. Public safety is not enhanced because the target is not the most violent or dangerous criminals, but all foreign born inmates, many of whom have been detained for minor offenses like driving without a license. ABLE is particularly concerned about these immigrants, community members, mothers, fathers, church-goers, and business owners, who are being targeted by law enforcement and treated like criminals because they are foreign-born. This leads to erosion of trust between law enforcement and the community, and a compromise of public safety because immigrants do not report criminal activity in their communities for fear of being detained and deported. Motivated by these concerns, ABLE made several attempts to schedule a meeting with Sheriff Conway, which he agreed to but then cancelled after researching ABLE’s stance, indicating his unwillingness to be in conversation with his constituents.
