PROTEST AT DUNCAN HUNTER’S OFFICE

By Miriam Raftery

February 7, 2017 (El Cajon) – A protest outside the El Cajon office of Congressman Duncan Hunter (R-Alpine) today drew about 50 to 60 constituents, undaunted by rainy weather.

Several met with Hunter’s staff inside while others rallied on the street outside.

The event was organized by a group calling itself Indivisible, formed to resist the Trump agenda, according to its website: https://www.indivisibleguide.com/. Hunter was an early endorser of Donald Trump and has continued to stand by the President.

The group cited opposition to Trump’s executive orders banning refugees and his call to deport millions of undocumented immigrants,  as well as Trump’s appointment of Jeff Sessions as Attorney General and Betsy DeVos as Education Secretary.

Hunter serves in the House, not the Senate, and cannot vote on cabinet appointments.  He has, however, been a vocal supporter of cracking down on illegal immigration including Trump’s plan to build a border wall.
