Santa Rosa rally scorns Supreme Court ICE ruling

On September 18, the Graton Day Labor Center organized a rally and vigil in Santa Rosa’s Old Courthouse Square as part of a National Day of Action to protest federal civil rights violations by ICE. The event was bilingual, with speeches in English and Spanish, emphasizing unity and community.

Over 100 day laborers, domestic workers, and community members attended to express concern over the U.S. Supreme Court’s September 8 ruling, which they say allows ICE agents to target individuals based on skin color, appearance, dress, speech, or line of work without warrants or probable cause.

Speakers highlighted the fear and uncertainty this ruling creates for immigrant workers. Pastor Benjamin Broadbent condemned the decision as racist, while attendees stressed the importance of civil rights, due process, and community safety. Some compared the situation to historical injustices, expressing moral outrage and concern.

No ICE agents were present at the rally, and the overall message focused on protecting workers, defending civil rights, and promoting community solidarity.
