23 anti-hate activists were arrested yesterday at Baldwin Park Demo.
They were arrested for trespassing on railroad property. Of the 23 that were arrested, all but 2 were held for over 12 hours. As of 1 AM the police refused to book 3 of the arrestees.
A private corporation called Corrections Services Incorporated runs the Baldwin Park jail. According to reports the jailers took their time booking everybody and arbitrarily harassed several of the arrestees.
One arrestee was held in solitary confinement for a short time.
Check back for updates later.
