Undocumented Immigrants Protest Deportations at Illinois Jail

HeadlineMay 15, 2013

Organizers say the rally at the Broadview Detention Facility was held to demand an immediate end to the record-high deportations under President Obama. Protesters blocked a road in front of the jail by joining themselves together with pipes, chains and locks.
