Dozen are arrested on immigration warrants
By Robert Mills, 08/06/2008
LOWELL -- A dozen people across Lowell were
arrested on immigration-related federal warrants
during a 26-hour span ending last night.
The spate of arrests began Monday at about
6:40 p.m., and concluded with an arrest Tuesday
night at about 8 p.m., according to police
arrest logs...
About 150 people gathered in the rain,
carrying signs demanding justice, due process
and the return of their loved ones...
Those arrested will eventually face a judge
in the U.S. Justice Department's Immigration
Court who will decide whether they will be
deported, she said. Protesters said they felt
victimized by the arrests and called for grass-
roots political action.
