Friday: Anti-Trump Protest Slated at West Chester Offices of Rep. Costello

WEST CHESTER, PA -- Demonstrators will protest President Trump's immigration orders in front of U.S. Rep. Ryan Costello's office in West Chester Friday.

The organizing group is called the Costello Constituent Action Group, which has a stated purpose of "demanding that our elected official, Congressman Ryan Costello, take a stronger stance against the discriminatory EO (executive order) against immigration."

Costello, who was re-elected convincingly in the November elections, has a reputation as a moderate conservative. During the election season he was quiet on Trump and expressed his admiration of other candidates, namely John Kasich and Jeb Bush.

Tammy Harkness, a spokesperson for the group, said that they would also be demonstrating against Trump's proposed border wall with Mexico.

Trump's order on immigration banned all citizens of seven Muslim-majority nations from entering the United States indefinitely, and banned all immigration for 120 days. The banned nations include Iraq, Iran, Somalia, Sudan, Libya, and Yemen,

The protest is set to take place from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Costello's office on 21 W. Market Street.
