BREAKING: Obama's deportation lies exposed!

Isaac Barrera and Jonathan Perez, two undocumented youth from California, were detained protesting Alabama's HB56 on Thursday, November 10th and spent some time in jail before being transferred to the Basile detention center in Southern Louisiana.

Yet, Isaac and Jonathan are still in detention and being processed for deportation.

Take a couple of minutes from your day to sign the petition so we can bring Isaac and Jonathan home for the holidays!
