Rong-Gong Lin II and Arin Gencer for the LA Times report on the big immigration protests opposing "a bill the House of Representatives passed in December that would criminalize undocumented immigrants and those who help them."
Across the country, immigrants and supporters planned to form human chains in New York City, and marches were planned in Orlando, Fla.; Allentown, Pa.; Louisville, Ky.; and Seattle. Cardinal Justin Rigali of Philadelphia planned to deliver a homily about immigration reform during a noon Mass. And in Tucson, an organizer urged "no buying at all," not even phone calls to Mexico.
Demonstrations are also planned around Southern California. Among the cities expected to see protests are Pasadena, Pomona, Santa Ana, Fullerton, Riverside, San Diego, Oxnard, Huntington Park, Long Beach and San Bernardino.
