Tucson Activists Attempt Deportation Bus Blockade

October 11, 2013 (1 min read)

"U.S. Marshals and security officers were trying to remove immigration activists who blocked the main exit of Tucson's federal courthouse this morning to keep a bus that returns deported individuals from leaving.  About two dozen demonstrators were gathered on the east side of the courthouse about eight this morning.  Six of them formed a human chain, blocking the driveway to the courthouse at the corner of West Congress Street and South Granada Avenue." - Perla Trevizo, Arizona Daily Star, Oct. 11, 2013.
