Philadelphia: Mexican Father of U.S.-Born Children Seeks Sanctuary from Deportation in Church
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This comes as, in Philadelphia, Mexican immigrant Javier Flores, who is
the father of three U.S.-born children, sought sanctuary from
deportation in a church and called on President Obama to stop his
deportation and others'. Mayors from New York to Seattle have said they
won't cooperate with Trump's promise to deport millions of undocumented
immigrants, even though Trump says he'll withdraw federal funding from
such cities. Grassroots groups in multiple cities are also organizing
anti-deportation self-defense networks.
