“Eight-year-old Gianella Ramos clutched a protest sign Monday at a City Council meeting, chanting “No to GEO! No to detention!”

She was among 30 protesters who rallied on the steps of the Aurora Municipal Center on Monday and called on the City Council to oppose the planned expansion of an immigration detention center that will more than triple the size of the facility.

“I do this for my mother who is an immigrant,” she said.”*
