About 20-30 protesters are on the march from Courthouse to Georgetown to the White House this morning.
The “March for Immigrant Families and an End to Deportations” started outside the Arlington County government building in Courthouse and as of 9:30 a.m. was at Lynn Street and Wilson Blvd in the center of Rosslyn.
Demonstrators will cross the Key Bridge into Georgetown, before making their way to the White House. From the Washington Peace Center website:
Come walk from Arlington Virginia to the White House in recognition of the one-year anniversary of President Obama’s announcement concerning Immigration Relief (DAPA, DACA extended). With the recent 5th Circuit decision to keep both programs blocked, it is imperative that we demonstrate the urgent need for relief for millions of immigrant families including those with US citizen children, all of whom continue to live in fear of deportation.
Press Conference at the White House: Marchers will hold a press conference at 11:30 A.M. in front of the White House.
