“Shut Down ICE!”: 30 Arrested in Civil Disobedience at Minnesosta Immigration Facility

Tired of waiting for comprehensive immigration reform to come to them, about 30 activists were arrested as they blocked the entrances to the Bloomington, Minnesota  Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility as a support rally took place nearby, reports Twin Cities Indymedia. Immigrant rights activists and allies held a press conference to demand that Presidentt Obama sign an executive order to end all raids and deportations pending the passage of a just immigration reform act. After the press conference the legal demonstration continued while those who planned to commit civil disobedience moved into place.
