SAN DIEGO (October 18, 2017) – San Diego City Councilmember David Alvarez (District 8) issued this statement following news that Silvia Ocampo, a hard working San Diego hotel employee, will be deported tomorrow.

“The Trump Administration's policies are inhumane. Mothers are being separated from their children and hardworking individuals have been targeted. What is happening to Silvia Ocampo is unacceptable and at the minimum she deserves her day in court.”

Councilmember Alvarez is asking that Silvia is given her day in court on October 27, 2017. For more information on Silvia Ocampo's case, contact Brigette Browning with UNITE HERE local 30 at 619.981.3009.
