A group of undocumented Chicagoans were arrested Wednesday morning outside the Hilton Hotel for blocking the morning rush hour to denounce the President’s, who is in town for a fundraiser event, ‘inhumane’ approach to immigration laws. Protestors, representing Undocumented Illinois, Immigrant Youth Justice League, Latino Youth Action League of DuPage, and the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, urged the President to stop deportations and pass a law that will keep families together. “Plans and promises of immigration reform are not enough. While Congress is talking about passing immigration reform, I’m scared that my own parents will be one of the 1,100 who are deported every day,” said undocumented protestor Stephanie Camba, 22, who was arrested Wednesday morning. “The President can’t be a bystander in reform when he could stop our suffering and stop deportations with the stroke of a pen.”
