3 To Know: Hundreds gather in Naples; Florida hospitals graded, more

1. ICE SHOOTINGS: Hundreds gather in East Naples to honor victims

In Collier County, supporters gathered by the courthouse steps shortly after 5 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 28, while organizers tested the sound and played John Lennon’s “Imagine” and Woody Guthrie’s “This Land Is Your Land.”

“All we want is to be safe,” said Bob Shae, of Bonita Springs, as he continued to play a series of chords on his guitar.Attendees brought walkers and beach chairs, as well as posters with messages in support of Pretti: “abolish ICE,” “justice and respect for Alex & Renee” and “they died for U.S.A.”

The crowd marched toward U.S. 41. chanting “this is what democracy looks like” and “no ICE” as they lined along the road. Dozens of motorists, including transit buses and UPS trucks, reduced their speed and honked. – Tomas Rodriguez/USA TODAY Network-Florida
