MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison joined a massive rally for immigration reform on Tuesday, alongside six other members of Congress, and ended up getting arrested over the act of civil disobedience.

Ellison told WCCO’s Edgar Linares that about 2,500 people came together on Tuesday to protest.
