Raids on illegal immigrants draw student protest – Providence, Rhode Island
Tagged: activist, protest, Raids, Rhode Island, studentPosted on: March 14th, 2007“A “raid-free zone in Providence” was the stated goal of 30 protestors who gathered in front of Providences Immigration and Customs Enforcement office yesterday. The protest – which lasted about an hour and a half – was organized in response to a raid last week on a New Bedford, Mass., leather manufacturing factory, resulting in more than 300 workers being detained to confirm their immigration status.
Most of the protestors were students, though some community activists and concerned families were present. Rep. David Segal, D-Dist. 2, was also in attendance.”
