Sunrise Movement activists blocked a road to protest ICE outside the Krome Detention Center in Miami-Dade and were arrested on Saturday afternoon.
News2Share contributor Dave Decker was taken by surprise and arrested as well, while on the grass, not on the street. He was released Monday morning after being held in jail since Saturday along with 30 activists.
"Oh my gosh, I'm not with them," David could be heard saying as he was handcuffed.
"Anybody that's here," the responding officer appeared to reply.
"Okay, I'm not fighting," David said.
Dave was not on the street, and was indeed filming and photographing for News2Share and two other clients. He was not participating in the demonstration. His arrest yielded the charges of "trespassing" and "resisting arrest," which were both apparently applied to the 30 activists as well.
"ICE KIDNAPPED MY NEIGHBOR" the Sunrise Movement activists had written on their shirts, many who carried photos of migrants, as they marched to the entrance.
Police arrived promptly and gave a three minute warning before arresting the activists on the street, as well as press who was not on the street.
Prior to the protest outside Krome Detention Center, the activists also rallied outside the facility dubbed "Alligator Alcatraz" where there were no arrests.
