#AbolishICE: Protesters at ICE field office speak out

On August 2, activists led by the Washington, D.C., metro area chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (Metro DC DSA) began a multiday protest outside of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) field office for the D.C. area, located in Fairfax, VA. While right-wing media have been smearing such protesters, Media Matters spoke to the activists directly to get their take, including the six people arrested on August 3, about why they were willing to risk arrest and how media ought to report on ICE activities.
