"Demonstrators are gathering in downtown Montreal to protest against the immigration crackdown by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Minneapolis and other American cities. Dozens of protesters assembled outside the U.S. Consulate on Saint-Catherine Street in the wake of the killing of two American citizens by federal agents in Minneapolis in the past few weeks. The rally caps off a weekend of demonstrations across the continent."

The death heightened scrutiny over the administration's tactics after the Jan. 7 death of Renee Nicole Macklin Good, who was fatally shot behind the wheel of her vehicle by an ICE officer."
