MIRAMAR, Fla. - A crowd of protesters gathered Wednesday outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office in Miramar.
The protest comes two days after seven protesters were arrested on trespassing charges after they held a protest outside ICE's detention facility on Powerline Road in Pompano Beach.

Protesters told Local 10 News it was worth getting arrested Monday to protest the immigration policies of the Trump administration.
"The GEO Group, which is a for-profit prison corporation, works together with ICE to destroy black and brown lives every day. We have to put a stop to that. We have to take action," protester Christian Minaya said.
Two protesters locked themselves to a fence with a bike lock Monday, while others tied themselves to a car blocking the entrance of the facility.
