An Arizona state representative was among the dozens of people arrested on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. on Monday while participating in a protest for undocumented immigrants.
Rep. Isela Blanc, D-Tempe, was one of the 87 people who were arrested during Monday’s protest, Tomas Robles, the co-director of LUCHA, told KTAR News 92.3 FM.
Eva Malecki, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Capitol Police, told KTAR News 92.3 FM that 68 people were arrested at the Mall for unlawful demonstration activities and were charged with “crowding, obstructing or incommoding.”
Twenty-eight of those individuals also were charged with resisting arrest, Malecki said.
Nineteen more people were arrested and charged with “crowding, obstructing or incommoding” for unlawful demonstration activities in the Longworth House Office Building.
Blanc was in Washington, D.C. with members of the Arizona-based advocacy organization Living United for Change in Arizona, otherwise known as LUCHA, to demand that Congress pass comprehensive immigration reform.

Are we willing to go to jail to protect and defend our Constitution and the Rule of Law?
Count me in!
If it's a fight they want...
Legal naturalized citizen since 1956... crime-free...
No one needs to ask me if I will be productive law-abiding citizen. I was vetted; I've lived it.
These people might have a better chance of being heard if they’d stop screaming, carrying signs demanding stuff-and not name their organization with a word that means “fight”...
