A rally will be held in Boston on Monday afternoon in response to federal immigration raids in Los Angeles and across the country.
In a statement, the Massachusetts chapter of the national group 50501 “vigorously” condemned “the violent actions of ICE and the Trump administration against peaceful protesters in Los Angeles,” and said it is “mobilizing in solidarity with local union leaders in Massachusetts.”
The 50501 group will lead the nonviolent “emergency rally” at Boston City Hall Plaza from 2 p.m. until 3 p.m. Participants will organize at 1:30 p.m.
...
“This is an attack on American liberty,” said Mass 50501 Council member Kylie Bemis in a statement.
“The right to freedom of speech and due process of the law must be protected above all else, and the response by the Trump administration is tantamount to a declaration of war against the American people,” Bemis said.
“Make no mistake — we will be peaceful, but we will not be quiet. They will hear us from Los Angeles. They will hear us from Washington, DC. Mass 50501 will stand in solidarity with SEIU.”

Cracks me up how they keep calling them peaceful.
Almost like they are all using the same script!
What time do "participants" get paid?
So, that means they have no problem if people throw rocks at their head, burn their car, loot their house, etc. Right?
Boston Mayor Wu will be leading the charge along with Pocahontas..
Heads up to Tom Homan: Looks like it’ll be a “target rich” environment! Send ICE. A battalion would suffice.
If they were truly peaceful, and not trying to obstruct law enforcement, the feds wouldn’t care.
Better deploy some troops there.
Ironic since just last week ICE finished up a month long ice raid in Massachusetts rounding up 1500+ illegals and no one made a fuss
If they are burning police patrol cars and private cars, vandalizing moving and parked cars, my question is, what do they need to do to be called violent?
I always thought Government Leaders had to SWEAR to uphold the laws of the U.S. Government and abide by the laws issued. Why it appears Newsome NEVER enforced the law, or upheld the law. And yet he expects us to all uphold the laws he thinks are correct. Wow..we are on a slippery slope
It had its origin in Reddit, so there it is: arson, looting, assaults—all legitimate, peaceful protest, if for the greater good.

Two words, leftists: You. Lost.
The 5150 group is out on the streets
Yep. I first saw it on Reeeeeedit then it seems to get really organized, had nice graphics, etc. very quickly. To me that is a sign of someone giving them a good chuck of cash.
Sure… Toss a stick of dynamite into the governor’s mansion and call it peaceful. These people are nuts.
just how many people do they have on retainer that are welfare recipients anyway....?
I think the cops should wack the protesters on the hands and elbows with their nightsticks. They’ll run away to lick them.
I say let them burn their cities, counties and states to the ground, we need the farm land. Then deport every single illegal alien. After they are ALL gone, restart the LEGAL immigration process, bring legitimate immigrants one at a time.
We’ll need them to harvest our new farm lands . . .
Well gee whiz…. Law enforcement officers go after criminals … which illegal aliens are. When you attack law enforcement , what comes next is on you. Fake outrage for folks doing their jobs is comical. This protest was today? Didnt hear a thing about it. No one cares except the folks writing the checks for the protetsers.
