Twelve people have been arrested outside the White House protesting the record number of immigrants deported since President Obama took office. The demonstrators were among a crowd of 2,500 marking the more than one million people deported under Obama’s watch. Democratic Rep. Luis Gutierrez of Illinois was among those detained. In a statement, Gutierrez said, “The President says Republicans are blocking immigration reform, and he’s right, but it doesn’t get him off the hook.”
