Arrest at Peaceful City Hall Protest Monday
I was inside Mesa City Hall as this happened. There was an agenda item about permits for a data center that was pulled from the City Council Meeting at the very last minute. City Hall also banned signs and protest materials inside.
Protests about ICE began in City Hall last year. Mayor Freeman has continued to add new restrictions, finds any excuse to shuffle or deny anyone in the liberal groups one of the paltry three, three minute slots citizens have to raise concerns. He will create extra slots for his LDS friends though.
This all is escalating and it is an effort for many people to be heard about local issues and about human rights violations in Mesa, the ICE detention center in Gateway Airport. But good job, MPD, why let ICE get all the glory?
