Morning commuters honked in support as they made their way by the message, while UOA volunteers cheered and held up signs, creating a jubilant atmosphere.
Dubbed a “rapid response” rally, the action came as a result of the agency’s recent actions—across the county and closer to home.
It was an early morning for @utahoverpassaction.bsky.social, as members of the grassroots org descended upon Murray’s 1-15 bridge displaying the message, “Hold ICE killers accountable” #utpol
