It was great seeing so many people out there making their voices heard. I just hope we can all keep it up and keep this bullshit from happening anywhere.
There was a rally outside. There must have been between 400 to 500 people. When everyone tried to come in they allowed 300 in to the main room, and 47 into the overflow room. Many people didn't make it into the building. They had to leave.
Edited to add: the original purpose of the building from the federal government's perspective, since buying it, was to use it as an ICE detention facility.

This is what Democracy looks like! Thank you!
What did they originally intend to use the building for in 2022?
Hi Kara! According to a listing for the building on LoopNet, the original purpose was an office center.
