Undocumented Protesters, Allies Disrupt Senate Hearing on Immigration Reform 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
At least 11 undocumented immigrants and their allies were arrested
Wednesday after interrupting a Senate hearing on immigration reform. The
protesters from around the country were calling for immediate action to
end the Obama administration’s unprecedented deportations. They rose
to their feet and interrupted remarks by Homeland Security Secretary
Janet Napolitano.

Man: "That's the problem. You are destroying our communities! Stop the
deportations!"

Chanting: "Stop the deportations! Stop the deportations!

Woman: "Stop! No deportations!"
