Description: Longtime immigration activist Marco Saavedra faces his final asylum hearing in New York on Thursday. He is requesting asylum, saying his life would be at risk if he is sent to Mexico. Saavedra has been involved in several high-profile immigration actions. In 2012 he purposely got arrested by federal authorities to infiltrate the privately owned Broward Transitional Center in Florida. A year later, he and eight other DREAMers “self-deported” to Mexico to protest the separation of immigrant families under the Obama administration.
