(A national Rally is planned)…There will be local participation.
The Rally is scheduled for June 30th at 10:00 am. Locally, it will be held at the Imperial Regional Detention Facility on Gateway Road in Calexico. The Families Belong Together Rally is being coordinated locally by The Imperial Valley Social Justice League. They say it will be a peaceful rally. They are protesting the practice of separating children from their parents after the families are detained for immigration reasons. The President recently signed an order to stop that practice and the federal government is in the processing of trying to reunite children that had been separated from their parents.
