LOS ANGELES (AP) — Illegal immigrant student activists are planning protests at more Obama campaign offices to pressure him to stop deportations, as students in Denver ended a six-day hunger strike that closed the president’s campaign office there.
The National Immigrant Youth Alliance in Los Angeles said Monday that the national protests will be similar to the one in Denver, where two students agreed to end their occupation after hearing others were taking up the cause.
Alliance organizer Dominic Powell said protests would start this week but declined to say where.
The activists want Obama to stop the deportation of illegal immigrant college students and others who they believe qualify to have deportations put on hold under a federal case review currently under way.
The Obama campaign did not immediately return messages seeking comment.
