Maria Mejia Released!Our joint action made an impact! [This update comes from the AFL-CIO Solidarity Center. For more information, click here.] Guatemalan Union Organizer Released from Detention: September 16, 2005 Maria Adela Mejia Perez (Mary), the Guatemalan union organizer and political asylum petitioner, who was detained by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Service on July 5, 2005 has been released today from the detention facility in Houston Texas. Her release will allow her to pursue her asylum petition from outside of detention. We would like to thank the list serve operators who posted the alert and the many who communicated their concern and inquiries to the Department of Homeland Security. Your combined efforts made Mary's release possible. Though Mary's asylum petition is not yet fully resolved we request that you send no additional communications to the immigration authorities at this time. We are grateful to those who wrote the letters- believing that one small action joined with many others could make an impact. Mary received many of the copies you sent to the detention center and was heartened to see our efforts. Many thanks! Teresa Elaine Casertano Read the original alert
