Montgomery, AL – A lawyer for 12 of the 13 people arrested during a protest of Alabama's new immigration law says his clients are in the process of posting bond and should be released Thursday afternoon.
One of those arrested during the protest Tuesday was a juvenile, and she was released into the custody of her parents.
Montgomery attorney Mike Winter says federal immigration officials have not placed a hold on his clients. Winter said his clients are posting bond of $500 each.
A spokesman for federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Temple Black, said no detainer has been issued for any of those detained.
Those arrested are mostly college students who say they came to the U.S. with their families and do not have proof they are here legally.
