Five Arrested at Philadelphia Immigration Protest

Authorities say five people were arrested after an immigration protest that blocked an interstate off-ramp in Philadelphia.

Police said about 50 to 60 people were taking part in Tuesday's demonstration to protest the U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision blocking presidential efforts to shield millions from deportation.

A police spokeswoman said four adults and a juvenile were taken into custody after protesters linked themselves together and blocked the westbound exit ramp of I-676.
