DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES, May 6, 2010, 10:30 am - About 100 people protested in front of the Downtown Los Angeles ICE building Thursday. Fourteen immigrant rights activists chained themselves together in the street blocking the entrance and exit of ICE buses. The protest was held as a civil disobedience action against deportations and the new Arizona law, SB 1070.

LOS ANGELES - May 1, 2010 - The air was electrified by a presence not felt since the Gran Marcha of 2006. Tens of thousands marched through downtown Los Angeles in solidarity with Arizona's victims of a new law that effectively legalizes racial profiling. The new Arizona law has been denounced by President Obama, DHS Head Janet Nopalitano, the Mayor of Phoenix, the Sheriff of Pima County (Arizona), and even some Republicans who see it as draconian legislation.

Many of the protest signs carried bold statements calling the Arizona law "racist" and "Nazi"-like. There was a sense of urgency in their voices, demanding to "Boycott Arizona" and overturn Arizona's SB 1070 law on the grounds that it was racially discriminatory and unconstitutional.

Demonstrations were held nationwide and cities throughout the nation are reporting sizable turnouts. The large downtown march was not the only protest in the Southern California area: Santa Ana, San Bernardino and Temecula are also reporting large protests.
