by Stop the Checkpoints Committee

Incensed at Border Patrol roadblocks that stop every car and check drivers’ nationalities, over 200 demonstrators took to the streets on Sept. 20 in Port Angeles, Washington. It was the third and largest protest yet by residents on the Olympic Peninsula, a rural area of rain forests and waterways in the northwest corner of the state. Access is primarily by ferry boat or by Highway 101, which loops around the peninsula.
