Immigration rights protesters in chains have blocking the intersection for several hours, but the LAPD has issued a dispersal order. Media reports have the cops moving in to cut chains from about ten protesters and arrest them.

Also: Today on CNN, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said current immigration clashes are occurring because the federal government didn't do its job.
