Roger Farmer prepared this nice summary this evening for the Just Peace Outreach Group.
What you can do:
Call ICE in Washington DC at 202-732-3000 or 888-351-4024. Tell them you are calling on them to stop the deportation of Mennonite pastor Max Villatoro of Iowa City (A# 094-338-085). Max is not a threat, he is a servant leader in the community and should be returned to his family and church.
Make a short video appealing for Max's release, upload it to YouTube, and send the link to Matt Hildreth, Director of Online Programs for America's Voice, whose email address is: mhildreth@americasvoice.org
