Sources have told El Conservador that the City of San Antonio is violating the state Anti-Sanctuary law, again. The San Antonio Fire Department (SAFD) has assigned two-person squads to stand by at Travis Methodist church where 40 "immigrants" from Honduras are being housed. They are assigned to two-hour shifts 24hrs a day for medical calls.
We should remember there are a large number of cases of mumps, measles and other illnesses that have been reported in ICE detention centers since the border crisis began. Also, the City has placed a notice on the City employee website is asking for volunteers that are Spanish speakers to help with the “immigrants.”
The health concerns are real. Today, April, 5, immigration officials in Arizona reported the death of a Mexican man who was in custody at the Florence Service Processing Center. Not only have the ICE and Border Patrol agents been placed in harms’ way with these diseases but now SA city firefighters will also be.
