Sanctuary, Not Silence: Calling Out Mayor Bowser over DC ICE Raids

Submitted by a l c h y m e d i a on Mon, 08/06/2018 - 20:50

Protesters continue to call out the hypocrisy of Mayor Bowser's claiming DC is a "sanctuary city" even as ICE carried out recent raids in DC's Columbia Heights - evidently with the cooperation of local police. Activists demand immediate action from Mayor Bowser to protect immigrants and to denounce the recent ICE raids.
