ICE Out
More than 100 people showed up at Monday's Petaluma City Council meeting to demand the passing of a non-cooperation ordinance against ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement). Holding signs and speaking during public commentary, the anti-ICE protestors implored council members to make the ordinance an agenda item. A majority of council members vocally supported agendizing it at a future date.
