A small group of residents gathered at the Alpine Civic Center on April 5 to participate in the national “Hands-Off” protest movement, according to reporting by the Sul Ross Skyline Student Newspaper.
The demonstration, part of a wave of events held across all 50 states, was organized to oppose actions taken by the Trump Administration, including concerns about social security and staffing cuts in government agencies.
Participants included Sul Ross State University students and faculty. The event remained peaceful, with only minor disruptions reported.
The protest in Alpine reflected the broader goals of the “Hands-Off” movement, which sought to highlight the impacts of federal policy changes on local communities.
