Show Notes
On this edition of Tiempo, we discuss the recent detainment of a local Latino church leader by Immigration and Custom Enforcement agents in Brooklyn.
Immigration enforcement took Deacon Sebastian Renoj Ordoñez into federal custody outside his home. ICE agents also took seven other community members into custody.
Community leaders gathered recently to call out the arrest.
The deacon, originally from Guatemala, serves parishioners at the Young Christians Church in the southside of Brooklyn. He has been an active church leader for nearly 20 years and has no known criminal record.
Pastor Erick Salgado from the Young Christians Church joins Tiempo to shed some light on the situation.
Also on our program, we highlight the nonprofit Camino al Éxito Project For All.
The organization is located in Dutchess County and its mission is quite simple: empower Latinos in the Hudson Valley. It offers a wide range of services like youth mentorship, adult workshops, legal services, job readiness and much more.
We talk to the leaders of the organization coming up.
