a propper response would be for all members of parliament and our congress who are opposed to the wall to travel there and join the demos.

(They could then arest both of them)

The detainees have had their telephones taken away by now. The last they were able to tell us is that the Ministry of Interior had come to meet them for a hearing at the police station about whether they will take over responsibility for the prisoners from the police. No lawyers were allowed present at the meeting and we fear the Ministry is pushing for a quick deportation class action. Call the police station and the Ministry, please.
