Counter Protester Assaulted At Immigration Rally
WCSH News Center 6 ^ | April 10, 2006

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) -- Witnesses reported that a teenager wearing a bandana hit a counter-protester on the head at Monument Square. The victim fell to the ground bloodied, and was taken away by an ambulance before the demonstration officially began.

The victim was one of about three people carrying signs arguing that illegals have no rights and should be deported.

After the assault, about 200 people gathered to peacefully voice support for reforms that would legalize an estimated eleven million undocumented immigrants.

One of the organizers, Portland attorney Rafael Galvez, says people will remember how members of Congress vote. He says lawmakers have before them an opportunity to be either "compassionate or cruel."
