Undocumented Immigrants Intentionally Arrested in Protest

As the debate about immigration reform continues to simmer, This American Life ran a story recently about a group of activists 

 from the National Immigrant Youth Alliance who intentionally got arrested for being undocumented. They believed if they could get inside the Broward Transitional Center in Florida, they could prevent lots of the immigrants there from being deported. Obama Administration policy, laid out in a series of documents called the Morton memos, states that non-violent immigrants who are not criminals are low priority for detention. Michael May also wrote a print version of this story, for The American Prospect.
