Catholic workers arrested while protesting immigration policies
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – A peaceful protest led to several arrests in downtown Kansas City, where dozens of Catholic workers chanted for immigration policy changes outside the federal building.

It was a cause some cared so much about, they were willing to sacrifice their freedom. Six Catholic workers were arrested outside the building when officers told them to move off the property and they didn’t budge.

"We can't just simply let this go by and continue to get worse silently," Louis Rodemann said.

The protestors were concerned about policies they say ruin families through deportation.

1. Good for them. Sometimes civil disobedience is the right thing.
And this is an issue crying out for a serious fix.
