Five Protesters Arrested Following Civil Disobedience Tussle at County Jail
By EGP News Report
Young protesters engaged in an impromptu session of civil disobedience following a press conference at the Sheriff’s Men’s Central Jail to protest deportations by the Sheriff’s department earlier this afternoon, just before 4pm. Five were arrested, two of them students of Roosevelt High School. Story to come. For now some photos from EGP reporter Gloria Angelina Castillo.

To whom it may concern I am proud that there was a protest against Inmigration Deportation because I personal do not think is fair that they sepárate familys not knowing that sometimes the man is the head of the house hold they should give them a chance is not fair we should all be treated equal.
