COSTA MESA, February 10, 2006--In a new strategy against the minutemen, thirty members of Colectivo Tonantzin picketed in front of the business of Costa Mesa city councilperson Gary Monahan, who voted with Mayor Allan Mansoor and Eric Bever last December to train local police in immigration law enforcement. Picketers gathered at 5:00 p.m. outside
Skosh Monahan's, a restaurant at 2000 Newport Boulevard.
To date, public opposition to the minutemen's meetings and protests on day labor centers and against public art, as well as their vigilante patrols at the border, has been largely reactive, responding to the minutemen's disruption of civic life. This evening Colectivo Tonantzin took the fight to the minutemen.
