Multiple Southland anti-ICE demonstrations are scheduled Saturday as a follow-up to the nationwide ICE Out of Everywhere National Day of Action.
“Everyday Americans are coming together to demand the immediate and permanent removal of ICE, DHS, CBP from communities at over 300 events nationwide.” organizers with 50501 SoCal said. “The purpose of the system is what it does,” 50501 National Press Coordinator Hunter Dunn said in a statement. “ICE exists to kidnap children, throw our neighbors into concentration camps, and execute Americans in the street. We must do more than simply abolish ICE: we must prosecute every single official complicit in their crimes against the American people.”
