New York, January 11 (RHC)-- In New York City, seven people were arrested over the weekend after they disrupted traffic for more than an hour outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office.

The action was held to protest the new round of raids against Central American families. The raids have targeted people who sought asylum in the United States after fleeing violence in their home countries.

The activists locked themselves to each other using PVC pipes to block traffic, forcing the police to cut them out of the pipes with electric saws.
