“The United States of America prides itself on its First Amendment: freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly, and petition. So why send 2,000 National Guard troops to California to suppress a protest against immigration enforcement raids? One of the most powerful ways a citizen can use their voice has no right to be suppressed in such a way.”
