Local advocacy groups host an “Emergency Barrio Walk” after reports of ICE activity

Community members in Ybor reported ICE and local law enforcement conducting checkpoints on East Columbus Drive and North Sixteenth Street, last Thursday. In response, local advocacy groups held an “Emergency Barrio Walk” over the weekend to share information about ICE activity in the area.
