At a rally in Duluth, Georgia Thursday night marking the first 100 days of the Biden Administration, President Joe Biden was interrupted by a small group of "abolish ICE" protestors, the Daily Mail reports.
A small group of protestors interrupted Biden, shouting "end detention now," and "our families are dying," urging for the end of private detention centers.
They also held up an orange sign towards the front of the rally reading "communities not cages" that faced out towards the crowd.
