Arriving in Trenton from New Brunswick, Newark, Maplewood, Lakewood and other points statewide, the activists want the legislature to secure the legalization of licenses for undocumented workers prior to the end of the year.
Assemblywoman Annette Quijano (D-20) is set to post the bill in her committee on Dec. 9th, even as the activists acknowledge expectations of a long lame duck process.
The five protesters sat in the entranceway for about 15-20 minutes prior to succumbing to peaceable removal and arrest by the state troopers.
