SANTA MONICA - Hundreds gathered and 11 were arrested--many of them risking deportation--in an act of civil disobedience calling on President Obama to usher in the planned legalization of millions of undocumented immigrants by halting all deportations. Protesters gathered to decry other issues as well, including the imposition of the Keystone XL oil pipeline. The day's events were marred, however, by a <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/07/santa-monica-college-shooting_n_3404689.html">shooting spree</a> that occurred just blocks from the protests that took the lives of five and injured several more.
