Club 907 Women Freed

The Ms. blog reports that the 80-plus women who were arrested during the November raid of Club 907 in downtown Los Angeles have been released. Officers from the Los Angeles Police Department raided the club on suspicion of prostitution on November 5, but ended up arresting 78 dancers on documentation charges. Although some of the women are still facing immigration proceedings, this is a victory for the Coalition for Humane Immigration Rights in Los Angeles (CHIRLA) and the Raids Response Network of the American Immigration Lawyers Association.
