Chicago Tribune: "After he was brought into the U.S. illegally as a 1-year-old, Luis Pedrote did so well in school that he won a President's Education Award in 2006.
Today, his family says, Pedrote, 19, sits in a Dallas detention facility after he was picked up last month by Chicago police who realized his illegal status while questioning him at his Gage Park home about a potential suspect."
The MexicoBlog of the Americas Program, a fiscally sponsored program of the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR), is written by Laura Carlsen. I monitor and analyze international press on Mexico, with a focus on security, immigration, human rights and social movements for peace and justice, from a feminist perspective. And sometimes I simply muse.
