A good showing of about 150 people. Passionate and heart sick about today's ICE behavior. A camera crew led by a trumper was trying to engage us. Word was passed around not to speak to them. My sign says "No ICE In This Melting Pot" with four American flags atop. He asked me if I wanted to say something to the "brave men of ICE". Very hard to stay tight lipped.

I did find a gesture that helps respond the the "F U s" from cars passing by - the Nazi salute. It's all they understand, and reflects their betrayal of the American Spirit.
