#AlexAlott was charged with allegedly assaulting a federal officer with an umbrella. Yesterday, she was exonerated because VIDEO disproved the accusation. But Daniel, who attended the trial to support her, was detained the same day that the trial finished.

I was live on the ground as faith leaders marched to the Broadview ICE facility to bring communion to detainees. ICE denied them entry, so they held prayer outside instead. Later, police moved in to disperse the crowd. The night ended without incident, though a few arrests were made.

At least 6 cars

About 8-9 ICE agents

All to abuse and arrest a 15 year old girl; even forcing a knee onto her neck

America-under Donald Trump-has become an authoritarian state

Repressing dissent

Eroding-then ignoring-the rule of law

And terrorizing children

As lady liberty wept
