Stop putting kids in cages Ken Buck, love Jesus, is the message one Colorado woman wrote in chalk outside the Castle Rock office of Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO). For that, shes facing possible jail time.
According to a local ABC affiliate, Shauna Johnson had a meeting at the congressmans office Monday and wrote the message in front of the building on her way out, protesting the Trump administrations policy of separating immigrant children from their parents when they cross the U.S. border without documentation.
The buildings management spotted her and called the police, who issued a misdemeanor charge because the incident may have taken place on private property. It is unclear whether the congressmans office did anything to abate the situation and Bucks spokesperson Kyle Huwa told Denver7 that Congressman Buck appreciates civic engagement and encourages his constituents to voice their opinions respectfully.

That's not to say if she's charged and demands a trial a jury wouidn't find her not-guilty, which has happened often
in similar cases.
