Two People Arrested At Immigration Rally
Altercation Breaks Out After American Flags Were Burned
from Channel 2000
Anti-Immigration Rally Turns Violent
July 4th 2000
WESTWOOD, Calif. , Updated 6:08 p.m. PDT July 4, 2000 -- Police arrested at least two people Tuesday during an altercation between pro- and anti-immigration marchers outside the Westwood Federal Building.
According to CBS 2 News, the organization called One Nation Indivisible set up tents outside the building for a rally, while the National Chicano Moratorium Committee, a pro-immigration group, took up residence across the street.
About 250 people were present at the rallies on Wilshire Blvd.
An altercation broke out after members of the pro-immigration group reportedly burned a couple of American flags, the television station said.
"We have borders for reasons and I don't think it's right that they should be allowed to come across the border illegally and get money from taxpayers who work here in this country," an anti-immigration advocate told CBS 2 News.
"Mexicans have every right to be here," a pro-immigration protester told CBS 2. "This land was stolen from us."
Riot police were quickly called in and order was restored, with anti-immigrant advocates on the south side of Wilshire Boulevard and pro-immigrant groups on the north.
One police officer was slightly injured after he was hit by a flying soda can.
Wilshire Boulevard was closed in both directions for a short time as riot police took up positions in the center of the street to keep the two sides apart.
The rallies ended at about 1 p.m. Organizers say that the demonstrations are an annual event.
