New York, Sept. 15: Dozens of immigratio­n policy protesters have been arrested at a demonstrat­ion outside a Microsoft store in New York City. Police say they took 76 people into custody Saturday who blocked traffic near the Fifth Avenue store in Manhattan. The protesters criticized Microsoft for doing business with US Immigratio­n and Customs Enforcemen­t. They decried what they called the agency's racist campaign against immigrants and asylum seekers. A Microsoft spokeswoma­n says the company closed the store for the rest of the day.
