Protesters carried signs that declared \"Stop Deportations\" and \"Legalization Now!\" A candlelight vigil was held as several participants were led in prayer by a member of the clergy.  <br><br> Even though Federal Building security guards were on the scene, the event was totally peaceful and solemn. <br><br> Members of the media were in attendance. <br>  <br>  It is likely that another protest\/march will take place next Wednesday night, following the same route. <br><br> <\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","contact":"","link":"http:\/\/www.mexica-movement.org","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","summary":"Protesters peacefully marched downtown to the Federal Building.
