Seven Months in Northwest Detention Center an Accident!
Posted August 20th, 2008 by PatrickAn immigration mix-up puts a Lakewood man and U.S. citizen behind bars for seven months and almost gets him deported.
Rennison Castillo broke the law. He was punished for it. And he thought he had served his time. Instead, the last day of an eight-month jail sentence was the start of a seven-month nightmare that almost ended two years ago with Castillo – a Lakewood resident, Army veteran and American citizen – deported to Belize, a country he left as a child.
He spoke publicly about the incident for the first time earlier this month.

Radical Movie Night - Bellingham SDS's "Present In All That We Do"
Posted January 15th, 2008 by AcumenschIn 1907, more than two hundred South Asian migrant workers in Bellingham were attacked by a mob of white workers. In the course of one night, an entire community was driven from the town - in the approving words of a local paper, "wiped off the map". One hundred years later in 2007, hostility toward immigrants of color in Bellingham continues. Raids and detentions by government immigration agents are ongoing: so are surveillance and harassment from both government agents and groups like the minutemen. How have the events of 1907 shaped Bellingham as we know it in 2007?
