MCM is on the scene as protesters meet in front of the Council Office Building in Rockville. Two protests are happening – one supporting the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) and one opposing.
Here is a look at MyMCMedia’s journalists on the scene for the demonstrations.

Hard to get crowd counts. Both sides look about equal, possibly more on the Pro ICE side. Anti-ICE side, though, louder with chanting
