Immigrant-rights groups call for October rally in D.C.

Fighting to make sure they don’t lose steam in their push for Congress to act, immigrant-rights groups said Monday that they are planning a major Washington rally on Oct. 8 to try to keep a focus on their issue.
The rally will feature both a concert and a march, and is being billed as the “national exclamation point” to other rallies slated for the preceding days in 60 cities across the country.
