La Grange League of Women Voters to discuss presence of ICE in communities at Dec. 11 meeting

Bonnie Pitz, state board member of the League of Women Voters of Iowa, shows off a pin from the organization. For years, the League has held candidate forums/debates in Jasper County. Local Republican candidates are refusing to participate in the forums, citing frustrations over the group's lack of neutrality and a past mistake.

The League of Women Voters of the La Grange Area is sponsoring a program, offered in partnership with the La Grange Public Library, on what it means for to have ICE, border patrol and the National Guard in our communities.

What are the rights of immigrants, protesters and residents? What can residents do to protect their civil rights?

The program will be held from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Dec. 11 at the La Grange Library, 10 W. Cossitt Ave., La Grange.

Ed Yohnka, director of communications at the Illinois ACLU, will address these questions. Yohnka is widely cited on legal and legislative matters.
