COSTA MESA – Fifteen activists turned out in front Friday afternoon of the Costa Mesa City Hall to denounce what they call police brutality against immigrant communities. The protest organized by Colectivo Tonantzin, a day laborer advocacy group was held in observance of tNational Day of Action Against Police Brutality.

The group said they are denouncing the city’s anti-day laborer laws and Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s presence at the city’s police station, among other grievances.

The group is the same that criticized Costa Mesa’s anti-solicitation ordinance, which was later put on moratorium.
