Protesters gathered in pouring rain Wednesday at the South Texas ICE Processing Center in Pearsall, located southwest from San Antonio, to speak out against conditions reported inside. The group of roughly 10 people — mostly members of the local chapter of anti-Trump activist group 50501 — had driven almost an hour from San Antonio for the demonstration. The gathering was an emergency action in response to a recent report by the Current about a flurry of 9-1-1 calls originating from inside the facility, which is operated by private prison company GEO Group and houses up to 1,900 men and women.
