Immigrant Rights Groups Temporarily Block Major Intersection In Center City

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Immigrant rights groups demonstrated in Center City this afternoon.

More than 100 families protested at the Philadelphia Immigration and Customs Enforcement office, asking for an immediate moratorium on deportations.

A Supreme Court decision is allowing 26 Republican governors to block the Obama Administration's deferred deportation program.

The protest temporarily blocked the I-676 off ramp to Broad Street, causing a major traffic jam.

The road has since been cleared.

Several arrests were made.
