TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) - Nearly 200 protesters turned out on the lawn of the Old Capitol Friday to protest immigration raids this week in the capital city.
The demonstration, organized by local activists and the Tallahassee Immigrant Rights Alliance, drew crowds of people waving signs saying “I.C.E. out of Tallahassee,” “Stop the deportations” and “Abolish ICE.”
Passing cars honked in support as protestors chanted “Immigrants are welcome here” and “No more I.C.E. in our state”.
“The Tallahassee Immigrant Rights Alliance condemns these violent raids and demands an end to Trump and DeSantis’s racist agenda of mass deportation,” a press release from the group said.
