Group says 2 hurt while protesting at R.I. immigration facility

CENTRAL FALLS, R.I. (AP) — A group protesting federal immigration policies says two of its members were hurt during a protest outside a Rhode Island detention facility.

The demonstration Wednesday night was the second in recent weeks led by the Jewish youth movement Never Again at the Donald W. Wyatt Detention Facility in Central Falls, which is used by federal immigration officials.

A video posted by the group on Facebook appears to show a black pickup, which protesters say was being driven by a corrections officer, driving up to an entrance to the facility that was being blocked by demonstrators. The vehicle stops before appearing to roll forward.

The protesters say two people were treated at a hospital.

Eighteen people were arrested at the facility last month. The charges were dismissed after protesters agreed to make donations or perform community service.
