Protest held outside Bay Area ICE facility over immigration controversy

Richmond, Calif. (KGO) -- About 60 people protested outside the West County Detention Facility in Richmond Sunday, where ICE has housed undocumented detainees.

Parent Abraham Drucker posted the invite on Facebook, asking others to spend Father's Day protesting the Trump administration's policy of separating migrant families trying to enter the US at the Mexican border.

"The fact that we are punishing people who are trying to escape danger and improve their lives is absurd and wrong," said Abraham Drucker.
ICE Protest at Richmond, CA Detention Center

June 30th is the anniversary of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, signed into law in front of the Statue of Liberty. Let's show our State and our Nation that babies are not bargaining chips in your politics.

Bring diapers, baby blankets, kids books and toys, your signs and your friends. We can leave the baby items there as a symbol of who they are harming, in hopes that they will get the items to the kids who need it. All while we stand there in protest of this abominable policy, leaving our signs there as a reminder to anyone who enters that they are complicit in this abuse.

Come when you can. Bring who you can. The time is 11 AM - 2 PM, but show up, leave a sign, show your support, whenever you can.
We are 100% volunteer and depend on your participation to sustain our efforts!
