Today
in downtown Los Angeles, over 1 million people demonstrated in support of
immigrant rights. This was the largest demonstration in the history of
California. March organizers announced from the stage that the crowd was
over 1 million. Univision and other Spanish-language television reported
that up to 2 million people marched. The Los Angeles Times, reflecting
police estimates, gave the march 500,000 - police estimates have been trying
to minimize pro-immigrant rights demonstration for the last few weeks.
