10 ARRESTED IN PROTEST AGAINST DEA

Ten people were arrested yesterday after they chained themselves to a door
of the U.S. Justice Department in a protest against the Drug Enforcement
Administration, the Federal Protective Service said.

Rob Kampia, executive director of the Marijuana Policy Project, said the
late-morning protest at Ninth Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW was in
response to DEA raids in California targeting the use of marijuana for
medical purposes.
