An immigration protest in Vermont ended with the arrests of 26 people who blocked rush-hour traffic for more than two hours.
The group Rise Upper Valley planned the demonstration, which was attended by more than 100 people in Hartford, Vermont which is a town of about 10,000 people. The group was protesting against recent immigration raids in the area that reportedly netted 18 people between late July and Aug. 1, who are now facing deportation.
