"On January 30, anti-ICE protests are scheduled around the country as an untold number of Americans participate in a general strike. The organizers, a group of student associations and immigrant-rights groups, are pushing a limited "No work, no school, no shopping" action to pressure the Trump administration to curb the abuses of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which include the recent killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis."
"President Donald Trump took office for a second term just over one year ago, promising the "largest deportation operation in American history." But the brutal tactics employed by ICE at Trump's direction have proven incredibly unpopular. According to a recent YouGov-Economist poll, half of Americans support cutting funding to the agency."
