Students Sit-In in Senator McCain’s Office

Julia Preston of the N.Y. Times reports that “In an escalation of protest tactics, five immigrants dressed in caps and gowns held a sit-in on Monday at the Tucson offices of Senator John McCain, calling on him to sponsor legislation to open a path to legal status for young illegal immigrants.”

UPDATE:  A N.Y. Times’ editorial praises the courage of the undocumented students who were arrested in this peaceful protest and later released.
