A Maryland-based immigrant-advocacy group is distributing guidebooks instructing those targeted by federal immigration agents during job-site raids not to cooperate with authorities if they are arrested or detained. The eight-page, two-color illustrated book lists what rights "people who are not United States citizens" have if detained by immigration agents, details what to do if served with a warrant or charged with a crime, and urges them to remain silent if they are arrested. The book also says they should refuse to provide authorities with any information about their immigration status.
Included in the book is a "Know Your Rights" card to be cut out and presented to arresting agents, showing that those detained choose to exercise their "right to remain silent, the right to refuse to answer your questions" and to "refuse to sign anything until I consult with my attorney." The book, which features cartoonlike drawings of armed black and white police officers escorting Hispanic men in handcuffs and shows babies crying because their fathers are behind bars, is the product of CASA of Maryland Inc., working with other organizations. Gustavo Torres, CASA's executive director, has not been available for comment. Locally, the organization has been involved in the establishment of day-laborer sites for illegal aliens, and helped mobilize more than 500,000 demonstrators at the Washington Monument last year for what it called a "historic immigrant rights march." Kim Propeack, the group's director of community organizing and political action, said CASA has "become aware that some segments of our community" are frightened about the prospect of immigration raids and may avoid interacting with government institutions even if they have nothing to do with immigration.

government should sue CASA de Maryland for aiding and abetting illigals...
Congress and the Bush/Rove due are working hard to make sure your tax dollars will soon provide Social Security and Medicare to all 20 million illegals.
These scum buckets also receive United Way dollars. Something to remember when they come around for work site handouts.
