Rachel S.—a U.S. citizen—was beaten unconscious by unlawfully masked ICE agents simply for getting out of her car at Home Depot.

She was then taken to Cedars-Sinai Hospital—only to later be forcefully removed against her will.

We are demanding an investigation.

LA friends, this is vital to breaking the hold of Sinclair/Nextar.
I have a list of all of the companies that advertised on one news show on KTLA today. It is so much more powerful to call the advertisers rather than the station. Let them know that you will not be using their products unless they pull their advertising.
