More Than 300 Anti-ICE Protests Planned Nationwide This Weekend
A nationwide wave of demonstrations against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is set to take place across the US this weekend, with over 300 events planned in all 50 states and Washington D.C. The protests, dubbed "ICE Out of Everywhere," are a response to a series of recent deaths involving federal immigration agents.
According to organizers, the killings have revealed a broader pattern of excessive force, detention abuses, and the militarization of immigration enforcement. "The national day of action is about fighting back against the escalations that the Trump administration has taken against the American people over the past year," said Hunter Dunn, a national press coordinator for 50501.
Demonstrators plan to take various forms of action, including vigils for those killed and detained by ICE, overpass banner actions, sidewalk protests, marches, community training sessions, and airport protests targeting airlines involved in federal deportations. Protests are also planned outside ICE detention centers, field offices, congressional district offices, and major corporations believed to be supporting ICE operations.
The demonstrations build on weeks of nationwide protests following the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an off-duty ICE officer in Minneapolis. The killings have sparked widespread outrage, with activists calling for lawmakers to block funding for the Department of Homeland Security until ICE agents are removed from communities.
Organizers are also applying economic pressure, urging people to boycott hotels that provide lodging to immigration enforcement authorities and refusing service to federal immigration agents at local establishments. Protests are taking place outside major corporations, including Target and Home Depot, which have faced criticism for their ties to ICE operations.
While organizers acknowledge progress in building momentum against ICE, they say demands for accountability and action remain unanswered. "We need more people to continue to show up until ICE leaves," said Janae Bates Imari, co-executive director of the Minneapolis interfaith organizing group Isaiah.
As the protests take place nationwide, activists are emphasizing the need for collective action and solidarity in the face of what they see as a hostile federal government. With over 300 events planned this weekend, the demonstrations promise to be a powerful display of resistance against ICE and its operations.

There's gonna be so many protests this weekend! Like, over 300 events are happening all over the US 
. It's all about fighting back against those who think they're above the law 
. I mean, excessive force and detention abuses are no joke 
.
. The fact that there's gonna be vigils, overpass banner actions, and even airport protests 
️ is just amazing! I love how activists are using economic pressure too, like boycotting hotels that support ICE 
.
. And Janae Bates Imari said it perfectly - we need more people to show up until ICE leaves 
. It's time for some serious change! 
. We should be pushing for more than just a national day of action, we need real change 
. It's time to make America serve the people, not just the powerful and wealthy 
.
. Maybe he didn't have all the training or support to handle that situation properly. We gotta consider both sides of the story here. I'm not saying what happened was okay, but we shouldn't be quick to judge people without hearing their side of things first 
. It's like, we can't just label someone as a "bad guy" and expect everything to magically get solved 
. The system is more complex than that. We need to have empathy and understanding for people who might not even know they're contributing to the problem 
.
i'm hyped to see so many protests happenin across the country. it's about time someone called out the injustices in our immigration system. i mean, 300+ events planned? that's massive! 
let's see some real action from lawmakers and corporations who are profiting off ice operations. boycotts, airport protests, community training sessions... the list goes on! 
there are people on both sides of the issue and let's try to listen to each other's perspectives. i get that Renee Good's death is a huge deal and some ppl r really upset about it... and yeah, the lack of accountability for ICE agents is super concerning 
but at the same time, some ppl r worried about the impact on immigrant communities 
. Can we have some sources on how exactly these events are being organized and funded? Just seems like a bunch of people hopping on whatever cause is trending right now without really thinking it through 
. And what's with all the economic pressure? Boycotting hotels and refusing service to ICE agents at local establishments? That just sounds like a PR stunt 
. Can we get some concrete evidence that these protests are actually going to lead to real change or just more noise 
. it's like we're living in some dystopian movie where the government's more worried about deporting people than protecting their own citizens 
. it's like they're trying to turn these peaceful protesters into martyrs or something 
.
300+ events planned across the US is insane! i'm all about that layout life & structure 
but even with my love for neatness, it's hard not to be moved by the demands of accountability & action. protesters r taking a stand against excessive force, detention abuses & militarization of immigration enforcement - it's time 2 hold our gov't accountable 
about people standin' up for what they believe in & fightin' against the system that's oppressin' them. It's like, we gotta have a change in our country, you feel me? 
! Target, Home Depot, and other corps need to be held accountable for their ties with ICE 
. I'm all about economic pressure & boycotts 
I'm so hyped about these protests! 
It's time for us to stand up against systemic injustice 
️ I'm sending all my love and support to the organizers and protesters out there 
. We need more accountability and action on this issue! 
. its not about the politics or parties involved its about human lives lost because of fear and hatred 
. we need to stand up for each other and demand change 
.
i also wanna know more about these corporations that support ICE, like Target & Home Depot, r they really that invested in the cause? 
. I mean, who needs an enemy when we've got our own government, right? 
... I'm so done with the complacency 
. We need to WAKE UP, people! 
. The fact that these corporations are still in bed with ICE is just disgusting 
. We need to boycott them all and make some noise 
We can't let our voices be silenced; we gotta RISE UP!
