Democrat Rep. Luis Gutierrez Among 12 Detained in Protest Marking 1 Million Deportations Under Obama

HeadlineJul 27, 2011

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.”
