Three members of the U.S. House of Representatives and the speaker of the New York City Council were arrested Tuesday during a protest calling for action to protect undocumented immigrants who came to the United States when they were children. New York Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito said the protesters rallied Tuesday "to send a strong message to Trump and the Republican Congress that we expect to protect DACA recipients, we expect to protect them and their family members."
