Sheriff Sean Casey, and his continued dalliance with ICE, are in our thoughts...
grassrootsalexandria.org/wading-throu...

Why? Because we are doing our best to serve flimflam curators and connoisseurs (aka pundits) here in beautiful Alexandria, VA. It's what we like to do
November 21, 2025 at 3:16 PM
We agree with the Alexandria City Council and "call upon the Sheriff to cease his transfer of persons in his custody in response to ICE administrative detainers and warrants"

Vote! Vote! Vote!
Vote to enable change, but please keep protesting.

Both sides agree!
- Elites aren’t listening.
- Only elites can afford houses.
- We need to talk about racism.
- The deck is stacked.
- Everyone is in on it.
- Something must change.
