Santa Ana, California – The Barranco Family and Orange County Rapid Response Network have come together to organize a candlelight vigil in honor of Narciso Barranco, who was violently arrested on June 21 in Santa Ana. The immigrant community throughout California and the U.S. has been living under extreme stress and intense fear, and this gathering is the first step in the healing process for us.
The vigil will be held at the corner of Edinger and Ritchey, in Santa Ana.
Families belong together. Immigrants belong here and deserve humanity and safety.
We will lead a short, symbolic march in support of all impacted members of our community in Santa Ana and Orange County who have been unjustly targeted and harmed by Border Patrol and United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The vigil will commence at the corner of Edinger Avenue and Ritchey Street, the location where Mr. Barranco was disturbingly assaulted and arrested by federal agents on June 21. We will gather to unite in love, hope, peace, and solidarity with our immigrant friends, families, and neighbors…
