Protesters in Philadelphia, New Jersey Demand Release of Nonviolent & Immigrant Prisoners
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Philadelphia, at least 100 protesters shut down traffic and parked
their cars in the middle of city streets surrounding City Hall and other
government buildings to demand the city release nonviolent prisoners and
immigrant prisoners in light of the coronavirus crisis.

In New Jersey, families with loved ones imprisoned at the Bergen County
Jail held a demonstration Friday outside the jail to demand Governor
Phil Murphy free all immigrants in detention.
