Sonora, CA — For the second time this month, demonstrators gathered at Courthouse Park in Sonora on Sunday in response to recent happenings in Minnesota.
Two weeks ago, we reported that there was a protest at the same spot in response to the shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent. Sunday’s protest came following the death of 37-year-old Alex Pretti.
The event, put on by the group Tuolumne County Indivisible, was called “Ice OUT of America.”
From noon until 3 pm yesterday, there were people lined up on both sides of Washington Street at Courthouse Park.
