‘Bring Them Home' rally demands due process for deportees
PITTSBURG, Kans. — Protestors in southeast Kansas take part in a national stand against the Trump administration's deportation policies.
The 'Bring Them Home Rally' hosted by the Crawford County Democrats started at the Pritchett Pavilion in Pittsburg's Immigrant Park.
Rallygoers displayed signs advocating for people U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has deported to El Salvador, including Kilmar Abrego Garcia, 29.
From the sidewalks along Broadway Street, protestors led chants calling for due process.
'There's not a whole lot we can do other than express our opinions and try to encourage other people to do the same thing,' said Dick and Delma Thompson, 'Bring Them Home' rally goers.
'They care about the community. They care about their fellow Americans, and when they get out and protest. And so I think it's a good sign. Hopefully, we get more. I want to see more people get involved and more people speak out,' said Jackson Bertoncino, Crawford County Democratic Party Vice Chair.
Bertoncino says the Crawford County Democrats plan to host another rally at the end of the month.
