Dueling immigration rallies in Fishers today FISHERS, Ind. (WISH) — Two organizations representing different sides of the immigration debate held events in central Indiana Saturday. The events held by Save Heritage Indiana and Fishers Resists had different ideologies and formats — one was public, while the other was held in secret with a location disclosed only to invitees. Fishers Resists held a Saturday afternoon Hoosier Hospitality March. It began at Holland Park before demonstrators walked a mile to the Fishers Municipal Center. There, guests spoke against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Trump-era immigration policies. An organizer estimated attendance at more than 1,000. “Even if someone is here and they are undocumented, we don’t have to treat them like animals. They’re humans too,” said Josh Lowry, chair of the Hamilton County Democratic Party. The march was held in response to a rally held Saturday by Save Heritage Indiana. Former Commander-at-Large Gregory Bovino of the U.S. Border Patrol was the event’s keynote speaker. Organizer Daniel Poynter did not reveal the location before the event. Poynter said the rally sold out and that he viewed it as an opportunity to direct history. “The country could break apart because we don’t have a center or our center’s very weak,” Poynter said. “Ultimately, we want an immigration moratorium like we had in the 1920s and, in addition to that, we want mass deportations of everyone here illegally — tens of millions of people.” Poynter said video of the Save Heritage Indiana rally will be released in the coming days. ...read more read less
