A rally to protest Trump Administration immigration policies has been rescheduled for Saturday in East Cobb, after being rained out last month.
Indivisible, a liberal advocacy group, is organizing what it’s calling a “Cobb Disappeared in America Rally” from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturday at the intersection of Roswell Road and Johnson Ferry Road.
That’s where the same group held a “No Kings” protest in June that drew several hundred participants as Trump staged a military parade in Washington.
“We’re showing up across the country to say: in America, we don’t let the government disappear people,” Indivisible said in describing Saturday’s rally.
“That’s not who we are. And we’re showing up in East Cobb again, so let’s show out like we did for No Kings!”
Indivisible says the Trump administration is failing to provide due process, and that the president “has said he wants to abduct and deport U.S. citizens. If this he isn’t stopped now, no one is safe.”
An East Cobb couple hailing from Brazil and that we have been reporting on was detained at a Georgia detention facility in April after being questioned at their home. The wife has since been released but her husband has been transferred to a detention facility in Mississippi as their son works to free him.
A recent Sprayberry High School graduate, also from Brazil, was recently taken into custody, but no reasons have been given.
A number of liberal groups have been calling calling for sheriffs to refuse to cooperate with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency.
