		Boricua (American Indians) are Less than 1% (percent) as recorded in the U.S. 2000 Census in Puerto Rico.
		Boricua College is the first post-secondary educational institution in the United States specifically designed to meet the educational needs of Puerto Ricans and other Spanish-speaking people.
		A Boricua College education is therefore well adapted to the needs of all students, but especially adult students returning to college after some years of employment or homemaking, and to students whose continuing family or employment responsibilities would otherwise make a college education impossible.

	[LAsolidarity] Antonio Camacho Negron
		He has served a jail sentence that exceeded the maxism amount of his sentence which was imposed on him as a member of the Popular Boricua Army-Macheteros for the robbery of a Wells Faro armored truck in West Hartford, Ct, in 1983.
		In spite of this, as of yesterday Friday, Backiel had not received any notice from the U.S. authorities and the only reports that she had were those from family members who explained that agents of the FBI had visited their home searching for Camacho Negrón.
		In her view, this new action by the FBI is due to “a reprisal” against Camacho Negrón because of his statements denouncing the FBI operation in Hormigueros during which federal agents murdered the Commander of the Popular Boricua Army-Macheteros, Filiberto Ojeda.

	AngryBrownButch » Blog Archive » Fuerza Bruta Imperialista: FBI abuse and intimidation in Puerto Rico
		It seems to me like all the FBI has done is to continue their campaign of terror, violence and intimidation against those people and organizations who are trying to rid Puerto Rico of their imperialist, oppressive colonizers.
		These most recent actions are completely in line with the September assasination of nationalist leader Filiberto Ojeda Rios, comandante of the Ejercito Popular Boricua.
		The FBI (or Fuerza Bruta Imperialista, as I read on the Indymedia PR website) continues to crack down on the independence and nationalist movements in Puerto Rico with absolutely no regard for the civil rights of the Puerto Rican people, further driving home the US’s attitude towards the Puerto Rican people as second class citizens.
