Aura Hernandez: Universalist Society and Hernandez

aura hernandez: Hernandez, a mother of two who used to clean homes, has lived illegally in the U.S. since 2005, according to Metro News. I am not going to keep quiet anymore. As she held her 15-month-old baby, Aura Hernandez spoke to reporters inside Fourth Universalist Society, a historic Upper West Side church, where she has been hiding from federal agents. I ask all of you to not keep quiet, to defend your rights, the rights of our children, she said in Spanish with tears in her eyes as her 10-year-old son, Daniel, stood by her side. She entered more than two weeks ago after spending two weeks inside another church, where she first sought refuge. Both of her children were born in the U.S. Hernandez, 37, vows to stay inside the church until her immigration status changes. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
