Gretchen and I took the T3 trolley line to Philadelphia City Hall. We were going to a bar, Time, where a friend of Gretchen's was performing. But when we got close to the bar, the police had closed the street at both ends. When we found a place to eat a half a block from Time, the waitress told us the police have blocked off the area every Wednesday evening recently. But later, when we were on our way to the subway, Gretchen ran into a friend who works as a security guard, who said the police had been overreacting to minor situations ever since the immigration crackdowns began in January.
