ATLANTA - Authorities say a group of young illegal immigrants arrested at a recent protest in front of the Georgia Capitol will not be deported. <br />

Federal authorities say they've decided not to take action against the demonstrators, who were protesting their lack of access to higher education during the April 5 event. <br />

A spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said ICE was not taking any enforcement actions against the demonstrators. <br />

The group, made up of mostly students, sat in the street and blocked traffic before they were led away in handcuffs.
