UPDATE: One DREAM-eligible student released, another in custody

Immigrants who arrived in the United States without documents but who are eligible for the DREAM Act are arrested almost everyday by ICE (US Immigration and Customs Enforcement). Many of those arrested are young people who have been to school or University in the United States and who contribute much to US society. Dreamactivist.org features two of those young people on its blog today. DreamActivist is the Undocumented Students Action and Resource Network. On Friday, ICE dropped its case against Gustavo, a high-school student in Oregon. But another student, Cesar Montoya remains in immigration police custody in Michigan. To find out how you can support Cesar's release or to read about other students in a similar position to Cesar, visit Dream Activist's website.

UPDATE: Thanks to the efforts of many who lobbied for his released, Cesar is now free! Just in time to enjoy the holidays.
