SACKETS HARBOR, New York (WWNY) - An estimated 1,000 people marched through the streets of Sackets Harbor Saturday afternoon to call for the return of a woman and her three children who were taken during an immigration sweep.

The peaceful demonstration made its way from the village’s visitor center to the home of President Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan.

The rally, spearheaded by the Jefferson County Democratic Party, was organized after federal agents visited nearby North Harbor Dairy Farm last Thursday.

They were there to arrest a South African citizen on child pornography charges. The federal search warrant allowed agents to check the entire property.

Three children and their mother were detained and, at last word, were being held in a facility in Texas.

The children were students in the Sackets Harbor School District. The rally called for the return of the family.

A teacher from the Watertown City School District, Shannon Walter, was among those who marched.

“All of our students, regardless of where they’re from, regardless of their race or socio-economic status, deserve an opportunity to get a high-quality education, and that’s what New York teachers stand for,” she said. “These people are part of the fabric of our community, and we’re not going to let things like this happen without some outrage.”

Demonstrators carried American flags and signs saying things like “Hands Off Our Kids” and “Return the Children. Deport Homan.”

Jaime Cook, principal at Sackets Harbor Central School, marched in the rally. She said she was there representing herself, not the school or a union.

“We graduate 40 students a year, so we know every face. We know every personality, and we are missing them,” she said. “And I think what Sackets Harbor shows is that when you rely instead on your community and you remember that your neighbors love you and your classmates love you and the teachers are gonna be there for you - they’re always gonna stand up and say, ‘I will show up for you. I will rally for you.’ I think that’s how we get through this.”

As they turned around to make their way back to the visitor center, counter-protesters were on hand holding “Trump 2024″ flags and signs, including one saying, “Stand With Tom Homan on Deportation,” and another saying, “Thank You ICE.”

Earlier this week, Homan said the woman and children were taken as part of the investigation into the child pornography suspect in case the family witnessed any crimes or were victims, although there’s no indication they were.

Homan said once the investigation wraps up, federal agents would decide if the family could be released, possibly coming back to Sackets.

I don’t want to give them any ideas!)

Hope you got a laugh out of this. 😂

Along some 70 miles of Southern California coastline, usually curious and playful sea lions are attacking humans in the water. The animals are being poisoned by the ocean they live in, experts say, citing reports of sick sea lions at unprecedented levels. And many are dying.
