More than 300 anti-ICE protests planned across US this weekend

Protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are scheduled to take place at over 300 locations nationwide this weekend. The events, which have been dubbed a “national shutdown,” aim to draw attention to ICE’s immigration policies.

The protests, organized by various groups, will involve demonstrations, rallies, and other forms of activism. Participants plan to boycott businesses that cooperate with ICE, including some big-box stores.

In addition to the nationwide protests, local events are also planned in cities such as Austin, Texas, and Cincinnati, Ohio. In these locations, protesters have already taken action, locking down business doors and discouraging shoppers from visiting certain stores.

The protests come amid growing controversy over ICE’s tactics, including its use of family separation policies and detention centers. Many advocates argue that the agency’s actions are inhumane and unconstitutional.

Organizers of the protests say they aim to raise awareness about the issues surrounding ICE and to push for policy changes. The events are expected to draw large crowds and generate significant media attention.

The protests will take place on Friday and Saturday, with some locations also planning events on Sunday.
