DENVER — 17 people were arrested during protests in Denver Tuesday.
"I want to be present and stand up to what I think is really wrong," Bonnie Lloyd from Broomfield said.
Crowds gathered to protest against federal immigration enforcement and ICE raids, joining protests across the country — namely Los Angeles — to call for an end to detentions and deportations.
"I'm doing my part as an American citizen and someone who loves our country to do what I can," Ellen Keckler from Conifer said.
Denver police released the number of arrests and what they were for:
Graffiti (3)
Interference with Police Authority (1)
Unlawful Throwing of Projectiles, Failure to Obey a Lawful Order (1)
