Protests across the country are planned due to the shootings in Minneapolis and Portland
Following the shootings in Minneapolis and Portland this week, several protests are planned across the country to condemn ICE violence
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.
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.
