Some Democratic law makers give advice to illegal immigrants on how to avoid ICE raids
Democratic strategist Robin Biro weighs in on ICE raids that are set to begin soon.
Police in Phoenix, Ariz., arrested 16 people Friday night during a protest of planned sweeps by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Authorities said a group of protesters blocked a downtown street and disrupted light rail traffic outside the local ICE office. KSAZ reported that a small number of people did not clear the roadway and the light rail tracks when they were asked, prompting the arrests.

In all, 14 people were accused of unlawful assembly and obstructing a public thoroughfare, while two were charged with aggravated assault on a police officer.
No injuries were reported and the protesters dispersed around 11:00 p.m.
The Phoenix protest was one of a number of demonstrations ahead of Sunday's planned immigration operations. Earlier Friday, protesters demonstrating outside an ICE facility in Aurora, Colo. pulled down the American flag and raised the flag of Mexico in its place
