"Dozens of protesters rallied in Paris on Wednesday against US President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown, voicing horror and fear after a second fatal shooting by immigration agents capped months of escalating violence. "F**k ICE, shut it down, in every city, every town," demonstrators chanted as they bundled up against the cold at a protest in central Paris organised by pro-democracy groups Indivisibles and La Digue."
"Placards reading "The only good ICE is crushed ICE" and "ICE Cold Killers" singled out US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which has drawn fury over its tactics to root out suspected undocumented migrants. That anger mounted this month after immigration agents shot dead two Minneapolis protesters at point-blank range, including intensive care unit nurse Alex Pretti, who was hit multiple times after being forced to the ground by camouflaged officers."

Anger grew after immigration agents shot dead two Minneapolis protesters at point-blank range, including intensive care unit nurse Alex Pretti. Participants warned of a critical turning point and feared a slide toward fascism. Some Americans in Paris said they protested because they could do so without fear of being shot. The White House says operations target hardened criminals.
