QC residents hold multiple anti-ICE protests
Quad Cities residents made their voices heard about the ongoing ICE raids in Los Angeles.
Three different ICE-related protests were held throughout Davenport Tuesday at the corner of Brady and Locust, outside of the U.S. District Courthouse, and at Bechtel Park. A variety of the signs and chants called the recent ICE raids an example of totalitarianism.
A couple of people told Our Quad Cities News that they were shocked to see military personnel being deployed against protesters.
'It makes it extremely more personal to me seeing familiar faces, familiar people, people who speak like me, look like me, being taken by ICE, ripped away from their kids and families, and everything they call home,' said Alex Friend, a protester.
'You can't have justice without compassion and mercy. Otherwise, you are just a brutal dictator, and that is what Trump is showing himself to be,' said Rich Hendricks, a protester.
More than 20 people participated in each of the different protests.
