🚨 Nationwide Anti‑ICE Protests Continue — Early January
Protesters shut down schools, stores, and workplaces across the country this week in ongoing demonstrations against ICE and federal immigration enforcement policies following recent deaths and aggressive federal actions. Demonstrators gathered at city centers, statehouses, and community spaces, chanting “Abolish ICE!” and linking immigrant rights to broader civil liberties struggles.
📍 Portland & Minneapolis Protest Escalations
In Portland, Oregon, thousands marched to an ICE facility and faced police action after federal Border Patrol agents shot and wounded two people on Jan. 8. Hundreds remained at the site late into the night as part of sustained opposition to enforcement tactics.
In Minneapolis, Minnesota, federal immigration enforcement has sparked deep anger and escalating demonstrations, drawing national attention amid ongoing legal and political battles.
📢 Labor & Solidarity Demonstrations
Thousands of union members and supporters marched to an ICE facility in South Portland in a show of worker solidarity with immigrant communities, pushing back against repression and demanding humane policy shifts.
