Runners protesting ICE cover 15 miles through immigrant communities

DeMille Halliburton founded a running club 10 years ago to bring together residents of his South Los Angeles neighborhood.

On Saturday, he and several club members joined hundreds of other Angelenos for a different cause, the Run Against ICE, winding through the heart of the city to call for an end to raids by federal agents that have upended life for immigrants.

"We're always trying to find a way to share how upset we are about what's happening in the country right now, to be visible and outspoken," said Halliburton, 61. "Enough is enough."

Runners expressed a mix of outrage, heartache and defiance as they jogged in the hot sun for 15 miles through neighborhoods where raids have happened or that are important to immigrants, from streets lined with sidewalk vendors in Koreatown and MacArthur Park to Dodger Stadium, Chinatown, the Fashion District and the city's historic core, a few blocks from the Metropolitan Detention Center where immigration detainees are housed.

Could you imagine Trump or Homan running 15 miles? Hell, either would be lucky to make a mile.
