And they need to be careful. As protests continue there will be plants; provocateurs and people trying to create false flag events to turn the public against the protestors.

These youngsters* are ROCK STARS at mobilizing.

* I know, not all, but I know a few 30 something women's marchers that are.

And they are ready to kick some Republican ass!

Great group, and so happy to have been there. CBP were apparently ignore the court order though.. not sure of the status of the 50-60 people still being detained around 11 pm. They held a 5 year old boy for hours while his mom was outside trying to get the governor to intervene. CBP are in contempt and contemptible.

Some of them anyway.

My wife was detained for nearly an hour at Atlanta airport immigration last December by a CBP officer (himself an immigrant) who said her fingerprints didn't match. As she was using the same fingers that had been attached to her hand the last 99 times she visited the USA, this was total BS. She had just gone though her cancer operation 6 weeks before and wasn't feeling well. The supervisor, also an immigrant, said he had excellent medical personnel if she had a problem. As that would have given these oafs a pretext to deny her entry, we stuck it out. The reviewer saw through the harassment as soon as he got to her case in line, and released her within 30 seconds of getting her case.
