Dueling LA immigration rallies mark anniversary of massive march

“Dueling immigration rallies Sunday marked the one-year anniversary of a massive pro-immigrant demonstration that jammed downtown streets with a half-million protesters and framed new debate in Washington.

Sunday’s rallies didn’t come close to bringing the crowds of the event they commemorated.

Several hundred immigrant rights activists marched to downtown’s Federal Building from the city’s historical center to protest immigration raids and demand reform. The pro-immigrant crowd was too thin to encircle the Federal Building as planned, police said.”
