80,000+ Salvadorans (mostly men from impoverished communities) have been imprisoned in similar conditions since 3/22. Horrific what these Venezuelan migrants lived through; horrific that so many Salvadorans are still there; painful to see people celebrate it all as a win

Hands Off event in Rancho Bernardo, CA today, about 2000 people attended!
It is home to over 3700 55+ residences. When many who wanted to participate would not go to San Diego this was set up last minute.
People were so grateful to have this locally available.

“Hands Off rally draws a big crowd in Davenport, Iowa
Hundreds of people packed the park and hundreds more lined Brady Street. Crowd estimates are chancy, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there was 1,000-1,500 people. I’ve seen others who say it was as high as 2,000.”
