MIAMI, FL — Protesters are blocking the entrance to the Port of Miami Monday afternoon, Miami police tweeted around 12:30 p.m.
Video of the protesters shows them lying in the road to enter the port next to banners that read "Stop Deporting Haitians" and "Kamala Harris Deliver Citizenship for Millions."
Those participating in the "Rally 4 Citizenship" want President Joe Biden's administration to create an easier path to citizenship for Haitians and others, CBS Miami reported. The same group marched to Miami's Morningside Park on Sunday.
On Monday, Biscayne Boulevard between 4th and 6th streets has been temporarily blocked off, reports said.
"Traffic to and from the port is being affected," police tweeted.
Drivers are urged to avoid the area if possible and use the tunnel via I-395 if they're going to the port.
