     "In solidarity with the Occupation of Wall Street and other 
occupations around the country that are standing up to voice resistance 
against the corporate hijacking of our government, we will be occupying 
a different street corner in Urbana-Champaign every Saturday for the 
purpose of telling people about the Occupation and its purpose and 
goals. The media has done a poor and misleading job of covering the 
Occupation and our concerns, so we have to do the job ourselves."

    C-U Immigration Forum Discussion
> "Secure Communities" is a controversial federal program that engages 
> local police in enforcing immigration laws. Although "Secure 
> Communities" was advertised as an initiative to catch and deport 
> dangerous criminals, it has instead led to the detainment and 
> deportation of many non-criminal immigrants in our community. In fact, 
> locally, over 70% of those arrested and detained are non-criminal 
> immigrant neighbors in Champaign County.
