Freedom Vigil at Alligator Alcatraz featured on NPR/WLRN
In South Florida, the first of several weekend protests began late Friday in Coral Springs at the corner of Sample and University. It was organized by "Joyful Resistance," which is calling on ICE to end "violent and abusive practices." They also held a vigil to remember the more than two dozen people who have died while in ICE custody.

“We are here this week and every week to say NO to jack-booted thugs terrorizing, attacking, killing, detaining, and disappearing our neighbors, families and friends in violation of our Constitution and our common humanity”
– Noelle Damico, Director of Social Justice at the Workers Circle
