NYC, 9/9: Press Conference--Echoes of the Dirty War; Anti-Immigrant Agenda Hits New York

New Documents in the Victor Toro Case

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has started a defamation campaign against Victor Toro and Chile's Revolutionary Left Movement (MIR). DHS has submitted a series of documents which seek to defame Victor Toro and MIR. The documents have been submitted to the US federal immigration court which presides over the case of Victor Toro, who is facing deportation proceedings and is scheduled for a final hearing on January 11, 2010.

There appears to be a strategy on the part of DHS which consists of using the US immigration laws to persecute progressive people throughout the United States. Recently, a former member of the Irish Republican Army (IRA), Pol Brennan, was deported despite having lived over 25 years in the United States.

In response to this strategy of the US government, there will be a press conference during which copies of the documents submitted against Victor Toro will be distributed. In addition to Victor Toro, those present will include:

Ramsey Clark, Former Attorney General of the United States
Professor J. Patrice McSherry, author of the book Predatory States: Operation Condor and Covert War in Latin America
Carlos Moreno, Esq., Victor Toro’s Attorney
Labor Leaders and political activists will also be present.

Conferencia de Prensa
Ecos de la Guerra Sucia
Agenda Anti-Inmigrante Llega a New York
Nuevos Documentos en Caso Victor Toro


El Departamento de Seguridad Nacional de Los Estados Unidos(DHS) ha lanzado una campana en contra del historico ex preso politico chileno, Victor Toro, y del Movimiento de Izquierda Revolucionaria (MIR). La campana ha sido presentada como parte del procedimiento que se le sigue a Victor Toro en la corte federal de inmigracion de Manhattan y que tendra una audiencia final el 11 de Enero del proximo ano.

El character agresivo y defamatorio de los documentos presentados contra Victor Toro y el MIR ha causado gran preocupacion en la comunidad inmigrante y los grupos progresistas de todos el pais. Parece haber una agenda de disenada a usar las leyes de inmigracion para perseguir a personas progresistas como Victor Toro. Recientemente, un ex-miembro del Ejercito Republicano Irlandes (IRA), Pol Brennan, fue deportado a pesar de haber vivido mas de 25 anos en los Estados Unidos.

En respuesta a este estrategia del gobierno se llevara a cabo una conferencia de prensa en la que se distribuiran copias de los documentos presentados contra Victor Toro y en la que participaran, ademas de Victor Toro:

Ramsey Clark, Ex-Procurador General de los Estados Unidos
Profesora J. Patrice McSherry, autora del libro Predatory States: Operation Condor and Covert War in Latin America
Carlos Moreno, Esq., Abogado de Victor Toro
Ademas reprentantes sindicales y activistas politicos.
