Washington, DC – Residents of Washington, D.C.,  are upset and unhappy with Donald Trump’s ICE troops’ invasion, occupation, and deportations–and with their own officeholders’ cooperation with it. So a parade of 150 witnesses let the City Council know it in a day-long hearing on December 4.

They didn’t get much satisfaction, however, from the council members who attended. 

Councilmember Brooke Pinto, D-2nd Ward, who chaired the session, explained the city’s hands are tied because Washington is really under federal control and subject to Trump’s edicts and his troops. Council Chair Phil Mendelson (D) gave lip service to witnesses’ complaints while pushing an unrelated piece of legislation.
