There are about 120 immigrant rights activists -- young undocumented immigrants, migrant workers and allies -- on the Washington Mall with advocacy group Casa de Maryland on Monday.

They walked for about 10 blocks, chanting most of the way. "What to we want?" "Immigration reform!" "When do we want it?" "Now!"

Many of the group's fellow inauguration-goers looked on with some amusement, but a few seemed excited to join in.

Nathaly Uribe, a 17-year-old undocumented high school senior, received deferred action in December. She said the policy, implemented by the president last year for young undocumented immigrants, has given them hope. But they still want broader reform, she said, and plan to remind President Barack Obama of his promise.

Spectators Outside White House Get Excited

From a White House pool report:

At 10:26 am, Pool is holding in van outside WH. The bleachers on this section of Pennsylvania ave are about 50% full. A few moments ago, a man in a red hat and black coat appeared to be serving as a volunteer cheerleader, running up and down the length of one section, and leading the crowd in doing the wave and screaming "Wooo!" as they rose to their feet and raised their hands in the air. There were also chants of "Obama! Obama!"

Protesters Gather, Urge 'Jobs Not War'

From the Associated Press:

WASHINGTON — A few dozen protesters were gathered along the Inauguration Day parade route on Pennsylvania Avenue invoking the late civil rights leader Martin Luther King's legacy and urging jobs, not war.

The protesters from the anti-war group ANSWER Coalition handed out posters saying "Dr. King's Legacy ... Jobs Not War."

Brian Becker, director of the coalition, said the group chose to focus on messages that would resonate with a pro-President Barack Obama crowd.

In addition to the poster focusing on MLK's legacy and jobs, protesters also had signs saying "Indict Bush Now" and "Drone Strikes (equals) War Crimes."
