Immigration Reform Protesters Arrested (Again) Downtown

Not the hunger strikers, I believe.

"Fifty-six more New Yorkers were arrested in lower Manhattan during a demonstration against the current U.S. immigration policy.

Today’s protest was aimed at President Obama’s announcement to send 1,200 National Guard troops to the U.S.-Mexico border as well as his call for $500 million for increased enforcement measures.

Signs in front of 26 Federal Plaza read "Immigration Reform NOW!", "Stop Tearing Families Apart!" and "Obama: We Voted for Change, Not This!""

Glad to see that there are other groups of activists other than the hunger strikers today.
