Demonstrations Across North Coast Mostly Peaceful

Demonstrators across the North Coast, from Ukiah to Trinidad, protested ICE, resulting in two arrests in Eureka. Friday’s protests included teachers at Alice Birney Elementary, welcoming all students, a Eureka High student walkout to the Humboldt County Courthouse, and a National Nurses United vigil for a slain Minneapolis nurse. Near the courthouse, counter-protester Gary Beckett was arrested for disturbing the peace after allegedly driving onto the sidewalk pursuing a teen who grabbed his MAGA hat. Saturday’s “ICE Out of Everywhere” Day of Action drew 800-1,000 to the Humboldt County Courthouse, where a man was arrested for allegedly threatening protesters with chemical spray. Separate protests involved about 170 people at the Ukiah Courthouse and a smaller group in Trinidad. Organizers emphasized the overall peaceful nature of the widespread demonstrations.
