protests there. It'd just fuel his attempts to justify the insurrection act.

The main events for No Kings are in Philly and all around the country. That's our focus, peaceful protests everywhere.

the protestors were at a Detention Centre only protesting those who are detained correct? They were approaching the so-called masked men of ICE.

What has Newsom and Karen Bass said????

This is not going to stop the June 14th protests scheduled for all over the US.
