Video: New York Immigrants Rally for Governor to Rescind Secure Communities

New York Governor David Paterson has just a few weeks left in office and pressure is growing for him to rescind the state’s agreement to participate in Secure Communities.

Thursday immigrants and their supporters rallied outside his midtown office and called for him to take action.
