30. ICE was in my community Friday.

Sunday

They took a grocery store employee two blocks away, and others from their homes, and business parking lots.
On a community Facebook page, people were warned to stay inside. Others were offering to pick children up from school, and to pick up grocery orders. Many businesses closed to avoid problems. It was disturbing,
I am 79 years old and my spouse is 74, but we were at the protests on Saturday. I don't know what else to do.
