The Grinch Stole Christmas!!!! Activists protest Christmas arrests by Border Patrol

By immigrationprof

Community activists gathered in San Bernardino on Wednesday to protest a series of arrests by immigration enforcement officials that allegedly targeted day laborers during the Christmas holidays.  (Click here and here for full news stories.) Among the claims made is that the officers engaged in racial profiling.

The U.S. Border Patrol confirmed that agents made six arrests during the December 23-25 in San Bernardino at a site where crowds of day laborers line up for work across the street from a Home Depot store.
