  14. "Protesters in Salinas join nationwide shutdown against ICE”—Report by Chris Hamilton, #MontereyHerald

    “This is the salad bowl of the world. There’s a lot of farmworkers here,” said Victoria Gomez, a lifelong Salinas resident at the city hall protest. “These people that are here, planting and harvesting vegetables and fruits for us and for the rest of the country. I think they at least deserve some respect enough to speak up for them.”
