Chicago: 12 Arrested After Blocking Traffic to Protest Deportations
-------------------------------------------------------------------

In Chicago, a dozen protesters were arrested after blocking traffic
outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office to demand the
dismantling of ICE, which they call the largest police force in the
country. The protesters climbed atop ladders and chained themselves to
cement boxes to highlight what they say is a history of abuse by local
immigration officers.
