Women Against Military Madness demands: Drop the charges against Alejandro Orellana!
Women Against Military Madness (WAMM) condemns the unjust arrest and targeting of immigrant rights activist and Centro Community Service Organization (CSO) member Alejandro Orellana.
On the morning of June 12, FBI agents, National Guard troops and LA County Sheriff's deputies descended on Orellana's East Los Angeles home in a coordinated, militarized raid. Agents forcibly entered his residence and ransacked his belongings before taking him away in handcuffs.
Alejandro faces absurd charges of "conspiracy to commit civil disorders." This is a transparent political accusation meant to criminalize and deter the wave of protests and legitimate activism against ICE terror in Los Angeles.
WAMM stands firmly with Alejandro Orellana and everyone detained under bogus charges related to political activism. Free speech and fighting against illegal detentions and deportations IS NOT A CRIME!
