Spotted Benjamin Wood on Facebook: Why are people telling me they're going to Murrieta today? Is somebody planning an action out there or something? Because if not, I would NOT recommend going down there. Even if there were an action, I would not go down there unless I knew and trusted the people organizing it. Yesterday's counterdemonstration was spontaneous and not under the auspices of any organization. But we had some level of coordination--and lots of trust-- among those that were there--enough, that is, to prevent the worst. But we were still sorely outnumbered and things did get violent. We do need to go back, and soon. But it's something we need to do in an organized, coordinated fashion, with everybody on board. Any other way will be dangerous. So please do not go until we can all go together!!
Also: It seems like some people are out. Not sure what's going on with other arrestees, but there was a call for help with bail. Will try to find info.

Found on Facebook
Urgent! Call in now to help out some brutally arrested anti-racist comrades!
5 Comp@s were kidnapped by police today at the Murrieta Border Patrol station. They came to protest against the white supremacists who were trying to prevent undocumented child refugees from being let free. The racists assaulted one of our people, and the police then teamed up with them to violently arrest 5 more. We are still waiting for formal charges and more information - but now we need you to please contact the Murrieta Police Department inmate line!
Call (951) 304-2677 (ext. #8, the chief's office, at which you'll be asked to leave a message) to demand the release of Jessica Rey, Janet Matthieson, Salvador Chavez, Jacqueline Sanchez, and Pooh-yan Bohkhai. Your support in calling is appreciated and if you wish to be present in support of the forthcoming immigrants/refugees people are still at the Murrieta Border Patrol Station in solidarity. #noborders #humanitynotnationality
Also, please keep an eye out for further updates, as we will hopefully know more soon, and riot police were arriving as our friends were taken away. The buses of refugee children should be arriving soon.
Share this to spread the word!
Sample script:
My name is [_____]. I’m calling to demand the immediate release of Jessica Rey, Janet Matthieson, Salvador Chavez, Jaqueline Sanchez and Pouyan Bokaei. They were wrongfully and brutally arrested for nothing but lawfully and peacefully expressing their political views, in support of the undocumented child refugees. The racist anti-migrant protesters assaulted my friends, and then the police grabbed my friends, the victims, instead of the perpetrators of that assault. Since the police were working with ICE officers today, I can only infer that this flagrant hypocrisy was politically motivated. Release the political prisoners mentioned above immediately and drop all charges against them now."
