Thirty-Three Los Angeles immigration activists who engaged in acts of civil disobedience will be arraigned on various misdemeanor charges tomorrow and Wednesday. The activists took part in at least one of three separate protests in May and July. Members of the group Todos Somos Arizona protested SB 1070, Arizona’s draconian immigration legislation, on May 6th and July 29th. On each occasion the activists laid down in the street and blocked traffic for a prolonged period of time. Supporters of the DREAM Act protested outside of the West LA federal building on May 20th by staging a sit-in on Wilshire Blvd. The activists have been charged with the misdemeanors of resisting, delaying, or obstructing an officer, blocking the sidewalk or street, and remaining at an unlawful assembly. The maximum penalty for resisting arrest is 1 year in jail and a $1000 fine. Remaining at an unlawful assembly carries a maximum sentence of six months in jail and a $1000 fine. The Todos Somos Arizona Collective and DREAM Act activists will be fighting the charges in solidarity with one another. They say the LA City Attorney’s actions are motivated by politics, and that the city is criminalizing resistance. A petition in support of those being arraigned cited the words of Dr. Martin Luther King who said, “It is our moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.”<\/p>\n
