Four Months into the Fiscal Year, the Count of Arizona Recovered Remains is 61
Arizona- The number of human remains recovered on the Arizona-Sonora border since October 1, 2009 has reached 61, reports Coalición de Derechos Humanos. The data is comprised of medical examiner reports from Pima, Yuma, and Cochise counties, and is an attempt to reflect more accurately the human cost of failed U.S. border and immigration policies. This count includes forty (40) males, four (4) females, and seventeen (17) individuals of unknown gender. Approximately forty-seven (47) of the recovered individuals remain unknown, which is approximately 77% of the total recovered thus far this fiscal year.

On November 24, 2009, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed into law HB 2008, a draconian piece of legislation that will ultimately affect the health and well-being of U.S. citizen children who qualify for vital services. It is extremely important that our community be informed about this dangerous legislation, as well as aware of the irresponsible decisions made by our current governor. Derechos Humanos has put together information about HB 2008 that is available below in pdf format. It includes a basic informational flyer, cards to carry in your pocket, as well as Accompaniment and Withdrawal forms. The information is all in Spanish.
The Accompaniment Form is strongly encouraged, as all parents should be empowered to provide the best for their children regardless of their documentation. The Withdrawal form has been provided for families who simply want to cancel or discontinue any services or benefits that they may be receiving from DES. Feel free to print and distribute to people who may be affected by HB 2008. Also, let your friends and family know about how this law is terrorizing communities and threatening the health and well-being of children. If you have any questions about anything in the information packet, please contact the Derechos Humanos office at: 520.770.1373.
