I was stuck at the office, but a co-worker went to the protest on his lunch break. Sounds like even here, in the arguable center of the deplorables, some are awakening.

Hundreds of people held up signs as they lined both sides of Jefferson Boulevard in front of Parkview Field on Thursday to protest U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ visit to discuss the Trump administration’s immigration policy.
The group Advancing Voices of Women had invited Sessions to its discussion afterward of how domestic and gang violence affect families, in light of his ruling earlier this week that those two issues were not reasons for granting asylum in the U.S.
Among those gathered outside before Sessions’ visit was Yolanda Linan, 19, an Ivy Tech student whose parents came to the U.S. on a permit and stayed even after it expired. She and her siblings were born here.
“I was raised in a Mexican immigrant household,” said Linan, who with friends was holding a Mexican flag. “It’s important they don’t separate families.”
