Rhode Islanders to rally in Washington on immigration reform

PROVIDENCE -- More than 100 Rhode Islanders plan to travel to Washington, D.C., today to encourage "fair immigration reform" as lawmakers consider the issue.

Members of the Immigrants in Action Committee plan a joint press conference with other members of the National Coalition of Dignity and Amnesty. They also plan to meet with senators and representatives.

The group is scheduled to leave Providence early tonight and return late tomorrow night.
