Report Surveys the Damage of San Diego Fires to Basic Rights (11/2/2007)

Residents of Southern California — including immigrants — were devasted by wildfires last month.  As the smoke cleared after the fires, the ACLU of San Diego & Imperial Counties, Immigrant Rights Consortium, and Justice Overcoming Boundaries released a report revealing patterns of neglect and instances of abuse of some of the area’s most vulnerable populations–especially Latino immigrants and the indigent–in the rescue and relief efforts.
