Migrant advocates deliver petitions against Obama's ICE raids to White House

On the 2nd of February, a number of immigrant rights groups held a "Stop the Raids" press conference outside the White House before delivering over 130,000 signed petitions. The petitions were actually accepted by two White House staffers and sniffed by the dog before being taken inside. Usually White House petition deliveries are refused, and often that leads to civil disobedience blockades. Before the delivery, speaker after speaker denounced the frankly terroristic raids on immigrants at their homes by ICE. Although not mentioned at this rally, many suspect Obama is doing this in response to Trump's hatemongering demands.
