Hispanics protest rumored immigration sweeps
Dozens of Hispanic residents in the agricultural Yakima Valley marched Monday to protest rumored immigration sweeps by the federal government. Immigration officials have denied conducting any large raids recently and say only a handful of criminal aliens have been arrested. Bearing signs that read "Stop the War Against Hispanics" and "No More Racism," more than 100 people walked from St. Joseph's Catholic Church to a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in Yakima.
