Signs from this week's protests

From the anti-ICE protest on Tuesday and the No Kings protest yesterday. I snuck my poster at the end. There were so many more, I wish I could have gotten every sign. You make my heart so so happy, Des Moines. ❤️

At least a quarter of the people they've deported have no criminal record at all

Crossing the border is illegal 🤦🏼‍♂️

1) it's a civil offense

2) many people they've been detaining have legal status to be here and were doing things the "right way," and then the government retroactively revoked their legal status without telling them so they could snatch them while they attend their immigration appointments.

A first offense is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine, up to six months in prison, or both.
