UNITED STATES: IMMIGRANT FAMILIES DEMAND TO STOP BREAKING UP FAMILIES, AND AN IMMEDIATE END TO DEPORTATIONS

by: John Bachtell

CHICAGO - Fed up with seeing loved ones deported and families and communities broken up, 11 undocumented immigrants and their supporters were arrested after blocking an intersection near the Broadview Detention Center on Apr. 8.

The action capped a two-day walk by 100 marchers from the Chicago Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office to Broadview, a 13-mile trek. They were warmly welcomed at churches and community centers along the way.
