Protests are taking place across America today to protest the death of a Minneapolis woman by an immigration agent.
Protest organizers say more than 1,000 events are planned across the country to demand an end to the Trump administration’s widespread deployment of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, Reuters reported.
A coalition of groups including the American Civil Liberties Union, MoveOne Civic Action, Voto Latino and Indivisivil are organizing the march, some of which were at the forefront of the “No Kings” protests against US President Donald Trump last year.
