Protest of Operation Streamline

Friday, October 11, 2013
This is coverage of the part of the protest which blocked the east vehicle entrance to the United States Courthouse in Tucson. This protest was held to stop Operation Streamline, a law enforcement operation where people arrested in suspicion of entering the United States illegally through the border between the United States and Mexico were to be brought to trial as a group in front of a federal judge. Some protesters blocked the entrance by bonding each other by the arms with chains and sitting in a line across the width of the entry. The protest ended when protesters were dispersed by authorities, which is not shown in this coverage.
