PHOTOS: Tensions overflow at DeKalb immigration protest
Hundreds gathered Saturday for a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement protest organized by the Party for Socialism and Liberation in DeKalb County. Police in riot gear arrived as demonstrators tried to march on the road. Tear gas was subsequently deployed as officers blocked the road and urged protesters to leave the area.
