Immigrants

As the San Francisco Chief of Police George Gascon rushes from one community group to another offering "apologies and clarifications" of "misunderstandings" for the second week in the diverse city of San Francisco, members of The Arab American Union Members Council continue to be appalled by San Francisco Police Chief George Gascon's March 24 remarks. Gascon spoke, allegedly in favor of an earthquake-retrofitting bill, alleging that the Hall of Justice is susceptible to "members of the city's Middle Eastern community parking a van in front of it and blowing it up." (San Francisco Chronicle, March 26, 2010)

Gascon later attempted to "clarify" his comments by claiming his remarks did not apply to the entire Arab, Muslim and broader Middle Eastern community, but instead to the Yemeni and Afghan communities in San Francisco - blatantly singling out these communities for further targeting, discrimination and injustice.
