A march tomorrow will conclude three days of peaceful demonstrations by people protesting last week's immigration raids at eleven McDonald's stores in Reno and Fernley.

The march will begin at Miguel Ribera Park and will conclude about four miles later at the federal courthouse south of downtown Reno.

Gilbert Cortez is president of Casa Latina Centro de Informacion and is organizing the march following last week's sting by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.

At Sparks High School, members of the Hispanic Club will silently stand in front of the school for five minutes at noon.

Sandra Dominguez, a 17-year-old senior, says the students are demonstrating about how the children of employees rounded up last week are silent victims of the immigration raids.

Dominguez says it's hoped the school demonstration will persuade students not to skip school to attend the Reno march.

I dont know why you anti people are trying to focus so much un 'illigals' as you call we are all the same yeah SOME illigals bring drugs from mexico, but what about american,chiniese,canadians,they arent angels. instead on concentrating on illigals concentrate on people of all races that are here who kill,sell drugs,rape and so on with so many criminal concepts, that affect the US.

Hey has anyone seen the reason they raided the McDonalds? They were using stolen ideneties!!!!! How much do we have to take? Not only do they not respect us, the United States, or our language; but they are stealing our identities. Tell them to go protest in Mexico and see how far they get!!! They have no rights here, they are illegal!!!!
