Thanks to all of you who joined us at Federal Plaza and the Ice offices at Clark & Congress on Tuesday. We had over a hundred activists supporting the 32 arrestees who were detained by Homeland Security at ICE. We sang songs and chanted "Legalization not Deportation!"

Our arrestees were released a couple of hours later with citations for blocking the entrance.

Special "Thanks" to our arrestees:
