"Free Them All!": Immigrant Rights Activists Chain Themselves to Gates of Gov. Gavin Newsom's Mansion
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Sacramento, California, immigration rights activists protested
outside the mansion of Governor Gavin Newsom Monday to demand mass
clemency and the immediate release of people in state prisons and
immigration prisons. Protesters chained themselves to the gate of
Newsom's home. This is Lisa Knox, an attorney with the legal center,
Centro Legal de la Raza.

Lisa Knox: "We're here today not just to ask, but to demand that Gavin
Newsom live up to the values he says he holds, and free them all."

Fourteen undocumented activists and immigration attorneys were arrested
at the action and released early this morning.
