LANSING — Police were called, but no arrests were made, when between 50 and 75 protesters temporarily occupied the Michigan Republican Party headquarters in downtown Lansing earlier Tuesday.

Michigan United, a coalition of unions and left-leaning advocacy groups, arranged the protest in order to raise awareness about foreclosure and immigration reforms pending before the Michigan Legislature and the U.S Congress.

The protesters said they sought a meeting with Michigan GOP chairman Bobby Schostak to ask him to convey their concerns to the state’s delegation in the U.S. House.

“It seems like Republicans are attacking the American dream,” Michigan United Detroit leader Debbie Adams said in a statement from the group. “They are going after people who are losing their homes and trying to deport children.”
