The small group of protesters chanted "not one more" and demanded Obama halt deportations of immigrants in the U.S. illegally. Police warned the protesters several times before arresting them. U.S. Park Police say they were arrested for failure to obey a lawful order.


But Obama has ruled out a deportation freeze. Last year the administration suspended deportations of some immigrants brought here illegally as children. But Obama said Tuesday that broadening that to include other immigrant groups isn't an option. He said that would essentially be ignoring the law.
