A crowd of more than 150 resident immigrants gathered at the Centro Laguna Mall Friday, July 12, for lakeside’s Lights for Liberty vigil,
joining thousands of demonstrators who turned out simultaneously across the United States and around the globe to call for an end to the inhumane migrant detention camps operated under the auspices of the U.S. government.
Local participants held protest signs and candles while chiming in together with the familiar civil rights anthem “We Shall Overcome.”
