According to posts on Reddit and social media, anti-ICE protesters plan to rally January 9 at the Colorado State Capitol’s west steps and lawn, located at the intersection of Lincoln and Colfax Avenues. Immigration activist (and recent ICE detainee) Jeanette Vizguerra will participate and speak at the gathering, according to organizers.
