At least six young illegal immigrants were arrested Tuesday at the rally protesting Georgia’s immigration law. Three of those young people were juveniles, and they were released to their parents.

Authorities say they were arrested after police said they blocked traffic to protest the state’s new immigration policies.

All three of the young people told FOX 5 they do not regret their actions.  Their lawyer said that completion of their community service requirement should lead to dismissal of the charges against them.  The lawyer also said because they were released without any action by federal immigration authorities, it's unlikely that they will face deportation.
