Cops Are Using Power Tools To Break Up And Arrest Immigration Protesters In Washington
Multiple immigration activists have been arrested outside of the women’s leadership forum where President Barack Obama is set to speak Friday afternoon, according to reporters present.
The protesters apparently locked their arms with each other with plastic pipeworks, which police removed with power saws. The activists are likely upset over Obama’s choice to back off his promise to enact immigration reform by way of executive orders by the end of summer time.
