We had a great turn-out. A rally. And a march. Last week a huge group of young people camped on the parking strip in front of the ICE facility triggering arrests. But still they persist. Last night was filled with the clanging and banging of pots and pans and general noise to remind the incarcerated that they were not alone. Tonight, as they have done for quite some time, the pots and pans brigade meets at the detention center to make noise. We are not okay with this crap in our area. Word is that children taken from the border are being held at another facility nearby.
