Dozens Arrested at Immigration Civil Disobedience in Chicago
Nearly three dozen people were arrested in Chicago today in the latest of a series of national civil disobedience actions. Here is how the Chicago Tribune described it:
Shouting “legalization, not deportation” and hoisting signs that read “Boycott Arizona,” a crowd of about 200 protesters gathered outside the offices of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and refused to move despite requests from Department of Homeland Security officers.
Among the 33 protesters detained was Alderman George Cardenas.
