"On Friday, January 23, thousands of demonstrators, dozens of nonprofits and unions, and hundreds of businesses will take part in a general strike in Minnesota, demanding that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents leave the state after the agency has wreaked havoc on the Twin Cities. Organizers of the "ICE Out of Minnesota" strike are encouraging residents to stay home from work and/or school. They are also encouraging participants to refrain from engaging in economic activities, such as shopping."
""It is time to suspend the normal order of business to demand immediate cessation of ICE actions in MN, accountability for federal agents who have caused loss of life and abuse to Minnesota residents and call for Congress to immediately intervene," the website ICEOutNowMN.com states. FRIDAY: Minnesota is standing up to ICE with a statewide day of nonviolent moral action and reflection."
