Nearly two dozen people have been arrested protesting the pending closure of a mental health clinic in Chicago. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has ordered the closure of Woodlawn Mental Health Center and five other clinics in a bid to slash public spending. Supporters say the closures will adversely affect the thousands of people who rely on the clinics’ services. The protesters were detained overnight after barricading themselves inside Woodland as dozens of supporters gathered outside.
