Activists blocked garage doors for two hours Thursday morning at the downtown Milwaukee office of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to protest recent immigration raids in the city.
"This is a pragmatic action, not a symbolic one," said Christine Neumann-Ortiz, executive director of the immigration advocacy group Voces de la Frontera. "We're literally shutting down ICE."
The protest is part of the national "Not One More" campaign organized by the National Day Labor Organizing Network, which has orchestrated rallies and acts of civil disobedience in cities across the U.S. this spring. With Congress stalled on immigration reform and deportations under President Barack Obama surpassing 2 million, the labor network is calling on the president to issue an executive order halting deportations until reform legislation is passed.
More than 70 protesters marched on the sidewalk in front of the building, 310 E. Knapp St., chanting and waving signs with slogans such as "Keep Families Together" and "Not One More Deportation."

"But he turned his life around, learned from his mistakes and is now a role model for his children," said Neumann-Ortiz of Voces de la Frontera....The illegals think him having a gun which is a felony and drug possession,that these are not serious enough crimes to deport him..He can continue turning his life around in whatever country he is from. I am sure his country could use some role models like him..But his own actions he put himself to where he is to today...He has nobody to blame but himself..

Move along nothing to see here
just some little illegal alien children in diapers crawling in front of the office with signs...
“Keep-Families-Together” Send-everyone-back PING
This is now the beginning of illegal aliens dictating what immigration offices can do. This is the beginning of the demise of America with drug cartel’s taking over. We can now look forward to huge protest rallies and violent uncontrollable demonstrations in our cities. This is Obammer’s dream come true.
Aiding and abetting criminals. Obstruction of justice and obstruction of government duties.
Some poor journalist will be arrested and charged with crimes for photographing or recording police but these pro illegal activity racialist thugs get a free pass.
So, wait... a bunch of illegal immigrants showed up at the immigration office, voluntarily?
In a saner country, that problem would solve itself.
I think if this is part of a national effort, which it is, it shouldn’t be in “Local,” IMO.
detain, sort out, deport
Agreed.
Send all illegals and the protestors to Mexico.
In the dead husk of the USA, not so much.
“Not One More” campaign organized by the National Day Labor Organizing Network”
isn’t that the slogan of the anti nra dad?
The protesters should lose their jobs to illegal aliens. Maybe then they’d learn what the real world is like.
Slogans I can agree with.
Protesting likely is their ‘job’.
Probably for a ‘non-profit’ not paying any taxes.
ILLEGALS!
