The building features classic, light-colored stone architecture with large columns and the words 'MUNICIPAL BUILDING' carved above the main glass entrance doors. The individuals are dressed in casual clothing and are holding up various black-and-white protest signs. On the far right, an individual wearing a blue short-sleeve shirt, khaki pants, a baseball cap, and sunglasses is holding a clear sign that reads 'ICE AGENTS DESERVE PRISON, NOT PROTECTION'. Other visible signs share similar anti-ICE messaging. Dark shadows from nearby trees are cast across the paved, sunlit plaza in the foreground.
