"[My granddaughter] is sensitive to what is going on in our country, as we all should be," she began. "I am disheartened and sad each and every day that we cannot demonstrate our sympathy for the beleaguered, that we are told immigrants, which most of us are or descended from, are unwelcome, that we cannot show our frustration in peaceful demonstration, and that we can be attacked and even killed by Federal troops."
"Things must and have to change quickly and peacefully," she concluded.
