Six Arrested at Sit-in Protest of Joe Biden's Record on Deportations
--------------------------------------------------------------------

In Philadelphia, police arrested six immigrant rights activists
Wednesday as they held a sit-in protest at Joe Biden's 2020 campaign
headquarters. The protesters are demanding that Biden apologize for the
roughly 3 million deportations that occurred while he served as vice
president under Barack Obama. They're also seeking a commitment by Biden
to end immigration detentions and deportations on his first day in
office.
