Houston Sin Fronteras - ProfilesArchive

About Me

Houston Sin Fronteras is the name of a cluster of folks who shut down the Houston Processing Center, an imigrant detention facility in North Houston, run by the Corrections Corporation of America. Ben and Ashley were arrested following more than 2 hours of shutting down the facility. They are being charged with Criminal Tresspass (a misdemeanor) and Manufacture of a Criminal Device (a felony). This profile is maintained by supporters who want to continue thier struggle in the courts, in the streets, in our communities and on MySpace (cuz, a lot of people hang out here, right?)
