"Hundreds of demonstrators gathered in Copley Square Tuesday for a protest against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) coinciding with the one-year anniversary of the second Trump administration. "I think that issues are always going to come up and change, but our analysis is always pretty clear, which is like all of these different attacks," Boston Democrats Socialists of America co-chair Bonnie Jin told Boston.com. "Whether it is the illegal intervention in Venezuela or the militarism that we have seen in our streets in Minnesota, it's all connected to this attack on working people.""
"Using the bitter cold weather as a motivator, organizers led protesters in a chant of "It's cold out, but the struggle is hot." The sub-freezing temperatures later became a tongue-in-cheek segue into chants of "F- ICE." Representatives from the Boston branch of the Party for Socialism and Liberation, Boston Democratic Socialists of America, and the LUCE Immigrant Justice Network delivered speeches. Students from Cambridge Rindge and Latin School and Somerville High School who participated in the walkouts also spoke out."
Several hundred protesters gathered in Copley Square to oppose U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and mark the one-year point of the second Trump administration. Organizers from Boston PSL, Boston Democratic Socialists of America, and LUCE Immigrant Justice Network led chants, speeches, and student participation following nationwide walkouts. Speakers condemned immigration enforcement actions, the killing of Renee Good by an ICE agent, and U.S. interventions in Venezuela, linking those issues to attacks on working people. Protesters used cold weather chants and criticized militarism, bullying, and cuts to healthcare and SNAP while calling for continued resistance against enforcement and foreign intervention.
