LOS ANGELES -- Activists say nine illegal immigrant students and their supporters were arrested in demonstrations at immigration offices in Los Angeles over a fingerprint sharing program.

Youth activist Mohammad Abdollahi says five illegal immigrant students and graduates held a sit-in Wednesday at the building where federal officers ready immigrants for deportation.

Abdollahi says officers detained them and one supporter and released them several hours later.

He says three activists who rallied outside were arrested by police for failing to disperse.

Critics say the program giving Immigration and Customs Enforcement access to arrestees' fingerprints has caused the deportation of many for minor infractions. Supporters say it helps identify immigrants convicted of crimes.

Homeland Security spokesman Matt Chandler says the six arrests were executed by the Federal Protective Service. No additional details were released.

More emboldened behavior because our federal government doesn't enforce their immigration laws.

Send them back over the border wall before the Feds can react. Its time individual states take over the deportations since the Feds lead by traitor Obama refuse to enforce the immigration laws of our nation.

Another example of the brazen and arrogant attitude displayed by these illegal terrorists, because we will not give in to their demands. This is what happens when you refuse to enforce immigration law by pandering to these militant criminals.

It would be great if they could,
but under current laws no city, county or state law enforcement agency or officer can deport anyone.
It is highly unlikely that the federal government would change the federal law to allow it.
