On Saturday, January 10th, the weekly protest against the actions of the Trump administration swelled from the usual 20-30 participants to an estimated crowd of 250. The crowd joined those across the nation protesting the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good earlier that week in Minneapolis. The protest target was clearly the police-state actions of ICE and the gaslighting from Washington about Good running down the ICE agent who shot her. Many cars passing by the demonstration honked in support. The protestors gathered in the Civic Center Plaza for a moment of silence in memory of Good, and a moving rendition of taps by a Vietnam veteran.
