"We want to send a clear message to the owners of the league, that here in Minnesota we support moving the All-Star game somewhere else," said Niger Aravalo of the Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee.
Aravalo also called on Hispanic MLB players to urge their coaches and team-owners to get the game moved.
Five protesters were arrested for trespassing when they tried to deliver petitions to Commissioner Bud Selig.
