HOUSTON—Forty people picketed the Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center here February 3 to protest a raid in which 53 workers at Republic Waste Services in Humble, Texas, were arrested January 31. Anti-immigrant groups U.S. Border Watch and the Minutemen organized a counterprotest of equal size at the same time.
