After the two shootings this week in Minneapolis and Portland, where federal authorities were involved, a wave of protests is expected to emerge across the country this Saturday.

Indivisible, a social movement that has been characterized by its opposition to policies President Donald Trump called on citizens to take to the streets and protest against the violence perpetrated by personnel in charge of detaining immigrants, which has already cost a woman her life. On Thursday, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Nicole Macklin Good in Minneapolis, and less than 24 hours later, Border Patrol agents in Portland, Oregon, shot and killed two other citizens who ended up hospitalized. In a statement, Leah Greenberg, co-executive director of Indivisible, noted that a large segment of the public is tired of the conduct of ICE agents during their operations and will therefore protest. “This weekend, people across the country will come together to mourn, honor those we have lost, and demand accountability from a system that has operated with impunity for far too long.” time.

ICE violence is not a statistic; it has names, families, and future associates, and we refuse to look the other way or remain silent,” she wrote.

The demonstration called by Indivisible has the support of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and Group 50501, so the participation of thousands of citizens is expected.

In this regard, Deirdre Schifeling, policy and advocacy director of the ACLU, issued another letter demanding an end to the violence generated during the operations in several cities carried out out by immigration authorities.

“The shootings in Minneapolis and Portland were not the beginning of ICE cruelty, but they must be the end. These tragedies are simply proof of one fact: the Trump administration and its federal agents are out of control, endangering our neighborhoods and trampling on our rights and freedoms. This weekend, Americans across the country are demanding they stop,” he said.
