Across the United States, protests erupted this past weekend after a series of ICE shootings sparked outrage. Immigrant rights and civil rights groups rallied together, marking a coordinated national response for the first time in a while. ✊
Demonstrations have taken place or are planned in major cities like Philadelphia, and across several states including North Carolina, Florida, Texas, and Washington, D.C. From East to West, protesters are uniting under a single demand: remove ICE from local communities.
The protests target Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the federal agency responsible for deportations and border security. Organizers say local communities should be free from ICE operations, pushing for more humane and community-led solutions. 🌐
As these rallies continue to spread, all eyes are on how local and federal authorities will respond. For young activists and allies around the world, the US protests offer a reminder of the power of coordinated action. Stay tuned as this movement evolves.
