1:03:45 - 1:09:30: Hollingsworth provides some details about her availability and started being pestered by audience members. She quickly lost control of the room and had to call for recess.
1:09:30 - 1:23:19: Recess
1:23:19 - end: Council meeting resumes after the room was cleared to finish business.

I really hope the anti-ICE protestors spend a little more time on their messaging tactics. Unbridled rage isn't convincing. Staring down at the speech you've written on your phone isn't a good look either. Think about what you're there to accomplish -- talk to and convince the council. It's not a rally.

And for fuck's sake, keep a lid on the over-agitated folks who can't maintain decorum. They are doing your cause more harm than good.
