Undocumented Youths Arrested Protesting Deportations at Obama Event in Chicago 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Twelve undocumented youth activists have been arrested in Chicago
protesting record deportations under President Obama. The activists
locked arms to form a human chain that blocked traffic outside the site
of an Obama fundraiser held Wednesday night. They were surrounded by a
banner reading "400,000," the number of immigrants set for deportation
this year under a federal quota.
