(La Porte, IN) - Turnout was tremendous for a No Kings Rally in downtown La Porte over the weekend. La Porte County Democratic Party Chairwoman Julie Sinclair

estimated the crowd at 1,500.  There were demonstrators outside the courthouse, along both sides of Lincolnway and a block or two to the east.  Sinclair said she was very impressed with the turnout.

“People are concerned about the dramatic slip into authoritarianism.  They’re upset about the brutality and the lack of due process in the activities of ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement).   They love our country.  They see it slipping into authoritarianism and they wanted to protest that,” she said.  Sinclair said the demonstration was peaceful from start to finish.
