voceunidas.org is now the Swift Raid Collaborative (Mexico-linked Peter Schey)

Peter Schey is an immigration attorney with at least three links to the Mexican government. In addition to heading the Center for Human Rights and Constitutional Law, he also operates vocesunidas.org, which until recently was called the "Mexico Project". It's since undergone an interesting change. The previous version included this:

A collaborative project of the DirecciAln General de Proteccion y Asuntos Consulares of the Secretaria de Relaciones Exteriores of the Government of Mexico and the Center for Human Rights and Constitutional Law.

It also included a "Partial list of participating consulates", listing Mexican consulates in Los Angeles, Sacramento, Oxnard, San Diego, San Francisco, Austin, Houston, Dallas, Brownsville, El Paso, Laredo, and Chicago.

Now, the site has become the "Swift Raid Collaborative", and there's no note on the front page of any collaboration with the Mexican government. There's a banner on the right called "Voces Unidas/A project for Mexican National women and children survivors of domestic abuse", but that leads back to the home page.

Thankfully, a copy of the original page has been cached both by me, by google, and by archive.org, so the next time Teresa Watanabe, Peter Prengaman, Martha Mendoza, or other "reporters" quote Schey without mentioning his links to the Mexican government, we can have something to send them to.
