Members of the [North Carolina DREAM Team](http://ncdreamteam.org/) are demanding Uriel Alberto, 24, of Winston-Salem, be released from police custody. Alberto was arrested after a Wednesday protest at the legislature. Alberto is a member of El Cambio in Winston-Salem and traveled to Raleigh to protest a Select Committee immigration meeting. "My name is Uriel Alberto; I am undocumented, unafraid, and unashamed! I refuse to be bullied and intimidated by this committee and choose to empower my community," Alberto said at the meeting. [NC DREAM Team is urging supporters to place calls on behalf of Alberto so he is not separated from his son.](http://ncdreamteam.org/2012/03/01/keep-making-calls-for-raleigh3/)
