March 11, 2006|From Times Wire Reports

Tens of thousands of immigrants from across the Chicago area marched into downtown to show support for immigrant rights.

Shouts of \o7"Si se puede" \f7(Yes, it can be done) could be heard as the mostly Latino marchers descended upon the plaza across from the federal courthouse, where they listened to speeches backing pro-immigrant legislation and opposing a Senate measure that would toughen penalties for illegal immigrants.
