Locals in Youngstown protest over treatment of immigrants
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) — Protestors gathered Sunday afternoon outside the Mahoning County Sheriff's Office to voice their concerns over the treatment of immigrants.
The Mahoning Valley Freedom Fighters organized the rally and protest called 'Defend Our Neighbors.'
The group met outside their sheriff's office because the Mahoning County Jail has an agreement to house ICE detainees.
'We're not here for any specific immigrant, we're not here for any specific reasons other than due process. We do not want the Trump Administration to set a precedent for allowing anyone to go without due process,' said Janet Cobb with Mahoning Valley Freedom Fighters.
The protest was scheduled from 3 to 6 p.m. on Monday. As of now, they don't have any future protests planned.
