TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - Protesters demanded Congress take urgent action and support a programme that provides young people who were brought to the US as children temporary protection from deportation.
Students staged a walk out early in the morning, convening at the Upper Senate park by the Capitol before heading to the Hart building, where they staged their protest.
Demonstrators hung a banner from one of the floors above them and chanted “Clean dream Act Now.”
Several of the protesters were arrested by Capitol Police.
