The Schuylkill County Democratic Committee is planning to hold a No Kings protest and ICE vigil in Pottsville next Tuesday.
The demonstration is planned for Tuesday, Jan. 20 on Garfield Square from 4-5 p.m., according to a Mobilize.us listing.
This event is being coordinated in conjunction with the No Kings/50501 event and Women’s march nationwide.
The protest is scheduled for 4-5 p.m. with a candlelight vigil planned from 5-5:30 p.m. That vigil is being held to “commemorate all the innocent victims caused by the ICE raids,” the announcement reads.
The event announcement comes just days after the fatal shooting of a Minnesota woman during an on-street confrontation with an ICE agent.

LOL
Democrats are always on the wrong side of every issue.
Protesting against ICE arresting and deporting convicted murders with court issued deportation orders dating back to 2009.
I’d love to hear them explain themselves to the victims families.
Instead we get a handful of people holding up signs on the side of the road about issues they are woefully under-informed about.
Ask a No kings protestor if they voted for Kamala Harris in the presidential primaries or was she appointed like a Queen/King by the DNC.
The lack of self awareness is stunning.

Totally agree with you. The democRats are a menace to society. They just don’t get it. We have all had it with their woke political correct nonsense. I may do a drive by just to give them a hand gesture.

Innocent victims of ICE raids? LOL. That is as funny as the Dems pretending to care about America. This is all about the Dems losing their voter base, ILLEGAL ALIENS. They know that without the illegals, they have no chance in heck of ever winning anything legitimately again. They should call it a Queens protest because that is what the DemocRats are!
