Rep. Gutierrez arrested outside of White House in immigration demonstration

"Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) was arrested outside the White House on Saturday during a May Day protest for immigration reform.

Guiterrez had been speaking to a crowd of hundreds at Lafayette Square when he announced that he was going to go to the White House fence with other protesters, sit down, and not move until he was arrested or until comprehensive immigration reform was signed.

Gutierrez, who chanted "Si se puede" ("Yes, it is possible") along with other demonstrators, linked arms with other protesters and took a seat along the White House fence. He was warned to move by police, and when he did not comply he was arrested with a few dozen other protesters.

The crowd chanted the congressman's name as he was led onto the bus."

Apparently he had been expecting this but I just now found out about it. Good to hear at least someone's on our side

Hahaha nice!!!

Edit: found the video over at YouTube. Enjoy.

dang.. man got balls.

why people hate Gutierrez?
didnt he support immigration reform?

You must be kidding. This is absolutely ridiculous. Whatever happened to freedom of speech???

People are gonna hate anybody who stands for something...but this is something that should make us cry--even though a lot of Dreamers can't even go personally cause of fear to rallies, there are ppl like him willing to do so much.

According to Chicago Suntimes, "In the wake of a new Arizona law aimed at illegal immigrants, Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) on Saturday is going to join demonstrators at the White House who will likely be arrested for their protests.
He expects to be booked and released. "

He knows how to stand up for what he stands for....

Bless his soul

It takes people like Congressman Gutierrez to remember what life is about.

I honestly thought he was just a another politician try to get minority votes but after an act like this, I'm having second thoughts
