5/24/2012 Group Watch: Rally Redo
Protesters surrounded entrances to the State House as the House and Senate debated changes to Alabama’s toughest-in-the-nation immigration law. Seven of the protesters were arrested after they tried to block entry to each chamber of the Legislature. Four were cuffed outside the Senate, and three more were detained when they tried to block the hallway to the House chamber. A group of about 25 protestors sang spirituals and chanted slogans in the halls near the House and Senate.
