Trail of DREAMs Met with Sheriff Arpaio, Holding Press Conference Now

The Trail of DREAMs, a group of four students who walked from Miami to DC to urge the President to stop the deportation of students and the separation of families, met with anti-immigrant Sheriff Joe Arpaio today, according to reports via Twitter. Because three of the students are undocumented, there were concerns that they may be arrested and reported to immigration officials.

Here are the latest photos of the action from Twitter, as well as a video interview with the walkers from a few days ago:
