"More than a thousand protests are planned across the US this Saturday and Sunday after ICE agents shot three people, one fatally, in Minneapolis and Portland, Oregon, this week. This weekend, people all over are coming together not just to mourn the lives lost to ICE violence, but to confront a pattern of harm that has torn families apart and terrorized our communities, said Leah Greenberg, co-executive director of Indivisible, an organizer of ICE Out for Good Weekend of Action."
"We're raising awareness of what's happening in our country, Meg Doyle, a member of Bridgeport Resists, who organized the protest, told CT Insider. People can follow their own hearts about how they respond to it, but this is about showing up in the community, our beloved community, and letting people know we care about them, and that we're angry, and we're energized and we're going to make change."
More than a thousand protests are planned across the United States this weekend after ICE agents shot three people, one fatally, in Minneapolis and Portland. Protests aim to mourn victims and confront patterns of ICE violence that have torn families apart and terrorized communities. Large crowds marched in Manhattan; demonstrators gathered outside Republican representatives' offices in Tucson and Stuart. About 200 people protested outside a Home Depot in Fairfield. Demonstrations also occurred in Philadelphia, Durham, and Raleigh, with chants including "ICE has got to go" and "no fascist USA."
