"Organizers are ready to hit the Trump administration where it hurts the most - in the wallet. Activists are calling for a national general strike on Friday to protest Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity across the country, but particularly in Minnesota, where nearly 3,000 federal agents have been deployed as part of an aggressive crackdown on supposed fraud."
""The entire country is shocked and outraged at the brutal killings of Alex Pretti, Renee Good, Silverio Villegas González, and Keith Porter Jr. by federal agents," the National Shutdown website states. "While Trump and other right wing politicians are slandering them as 'terrorists,' the video evidence makes it clear beyond all doubt: they were gunned down in broad daylight simply for exercising their First Amendment right to protest mass deportation.""
A national general strike on January 30 calls for people to not go to work, not go to school, and not purchase anything to create an economic blackout and enable local protests against ICE and DHS operations. Nearly 3,000 federal agents have been deployed in Minnesota as part of an aggressive crackdown on alleged fraud. DHS operations have been linked to multiple deaths, including Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti. Organizers seek the withdrawal of agents and cuts to funding while framing federal enforcement as terrorizing communities and targeting protesters exercising First Amendment rights.
