It isn't clear to me whether they are inviting people outside of the Latino community, but certainly they should. Many of us are just as concerned about free speech and the abusiveness of the trump administration's immigration policies....

Every old white man there makes it marginally harder for the goons to pick out their intended targets. Oh, and old white men are lawyered up.

DonтАЩt forget that theyтАЩre itching to detain and maybe even deport a natural born citizen for whom there is no basis to question immigration status. This is intended to have a chilling effect as well as give MAGA media a chance to demonize anyone who protests as traitorous and undeserving of due process. Scooping up citizens in ICE raids is a feature, not a bug.

Thank you for your warning. I'm uncertain what to do with it since "fear", "danger", "chilling", and "demonize" are all widely used to end a discussion, rather than start it. It's always wise to consider all the possible scenarios and stay home if it appears that they might scoop you up or demonize you as a dangerous radical. Please do.

"It isn't clear to me whether they are inviting people outside of the Latino community, but certainly they should." My thought exactly. They should try to pair up everyone with an American citizen buddy. Maybe even a cordon of citizens surrounding the group. Make it hard for ICE to figure out who is who.
