Mysonne Arrested During Immigration Protest In Washington, D.C.

Bronx rapper Mysonne was arrested during an immigration protest in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday (February 27).

Mysonne, along with a number of other activists including Congresswoman Yvette D. Clarke, were protesting for a clean DREAM Act, a permanent solution for Temporary Protected Status/Deferred Enforced Departure holders, as well as opposing President Trump’s attempts to repeal the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program.

45 created the #DACA crisis. He chose to put the families through turmoil. His vulgar and disgraceful rhetoric towards black immigrants, inconsistencies, and inability to govern have caused uncertainty and fear among #DREAMers and their families. He owns this chaos. pic.twitter.com/spUP7dMRoF

“Because I stand for something,” the Bronx rapper said while officers ushered him away. “Because black immigration is our problem.”
