Minnesota Anti-ICE Blackout: Why Thousands Are Skipping Work and School to Protest Trump’s ICE Push

Hundreds of businesses in Minnesota are expected to be closed on Friday (January 23) as they will be protesting against the Trump administration's intensifying immigration crackdown in the Twin Cities. The protest called "ICE Out of Minnesota: Day of Truth and Freedom" has been kicked off by community leaders, faith leaders and labour unions. Around 3000 immigration agents are currently spread across the Minneapolis and St Paul region as the US President Donald Trump has launched the "largest immigration enforcement operation ever", according to the Department of Homeland Security.
