Immigrant advocates are being arrested in front of the White House fence, after sitting down and defying orders from police.
About three dozen protesters and U.S. Rep. Luis Gutierrez of Illinois joined in the civil disobedience Saturday. They held a sign saying, "Obama, Stop deporting our Families." Some wore T-shirts that read "Arrest us, Not our Families."
Protesters are usually required to stay in motion when demonstrating in front of the White House.
Hundreds of protesters turned out for the rally at Lafayette Park, urging President Obama to fulfill his campaign promises to achieve immigration reform.
Obama was to return to the White House around 2:40 p.m. after speaking at the University of Michigan. Two Marine helicopters flew overhead, but it wasn't clear if Obama was on board.
Obama had once promised to tackle immigration reform in his first 100 days, but has pushed back that timetable several times. He said this week that Congress may lack the "appetite" to take on immigration after going through a tough legislative year. However, the president and Congress could address related issues, like boosting personnel and resources for border security, in spending bills this year.
Activists said outrage over Arizona's controversial immigration law "awakened a sleeping giant" Saturday as rallies demanding federal immigration reform kicked off in cities across the country.
In New York, Labor organizer John Delgado said anger over the law -- which requires local law enforcement to question people about their immigration status if there is reason to suspect they're in the country illegally -- drew more than 5,000 people to a rally at Manhattan's Foley Square.
"That's the fuel that motivated them to come here, because of the sadness of the Arizona law," said Delgado, who is business manager for Local 79 of the Construction and General Building Laborers Union.
If the tutu fits, wear it!
Reminds me of one of McCain’s excuses for Amnesty
( err..’legalization’, according to him)
This may be the ONLY time John McCain told the truth.
John McCain: no amnesty for illegal aliens could lead to France-style riots
...The man wasn’t satisfied with McCain’s answer. He asked McCain why the U.S. couldn’t execute large-scale deportations, as he had heard they did in France and other countries. The question seemed to pique McCain.
“In case you hadn’t noticed, the thousands of people who have been relegated to ghettos have risen up and burned cars in France,” McCain said. “They’ve got huge problems in France. They have tremendous problems. The police can’t even go into certain areas in the suburbs of Paris. I don’t want that in the suburbs of America.”

What a grandstanding A-Hole.
Enough!
These people are NOT victims.
They’re ILLEGAL ALIENS.
I see where authorities have captured 17 suspected illegal immigrants in southern Arizona as they continued their manhunt Saturday for smugglers who they say shot and wounded a sheriff’s deputy in a remote desert area 50 miles south of Phoenix.
A lot of things that used to be “public information” are no longer “public information” under this totalitarian regime.....
rule of law? .... we don't need no steenking rule of law ...
How can men rise to those levels of influence and power without knowing even the basics about buying and wearing a suit of clothes?
Both of them look like little boys.
“Arizona as they continued their manhunt Saturday for smugglers who they say shot and wounded a sheriff’s deputy in a remote desert area 50 miles south of Phoenix.”
This is an act of Terrorism.
[snip]A massive hunt of 100 square miles that included helicopters with night-vision equipment and more than 200 officers, including SWAT teams, from 13 agencies was still pursuing the shooters late Friday.
More than one helicopter came under fire during the evening as officers rescued Deputy Louie Puroll, who had been shot with an AK-47-type weapon around 4 p.m., according to the Sheriff’s Office.
“Here we see the tactics have changed and become more dangerous,” Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu said. “This has reached a critical mass for law enforcement.”
lock him up and give him at least 10 years!
Deport him haha
Waterboard him...then deport him. LOL.
Guiterrez is a Anti-American, Gringo-hating, Hispano-Racist
how did this anti-American ever get elected? I can't imagine that LEGAL US residents would have elected this traitor. Oh yeah, we got Obama too. Enough said.
I’m aware of the issue and I adamantly oppose immigration for anyone who lives in the third world who does not have a basic education, can’t read write or speak english, has no skills beyond being a criminal, and who does not have a sponsor who will support them for at least five years.
>> U.S. Rep Luis Gutierrez
I believe this guy stated on Greta that the party agenda is more important than his Pro-Life campaign platform - the reason he provided for recently sacrificing the latter.
...and they bitch about the “uncivility” of the Tea Parties....
I'm surprised they're not blaming Bush.
WHAT!!!???
How come no SWAT Teams here?!
