A protest is planned Sunday afternoon in downtown Montreal calling attention to U.S. immigration enforcement and expressing solidarity with demonstrators in Minneapolis following another deadly shooting.
The demonstration, called “ICE Out MTL,” is scheduled to take place at 1 p.m. outside the U.S. Consulate on Sainte-Catherine Street.
Michael Lipset, a Montreal resident originally from Minnesota and one of the organizers of the protest, says the event is intended to draw attention to concerns surrounding Immigration and Customs Enforcement, commonly known as ICE, while amplifying calls for accountability and change.
Lipset joined CityNews to explain the motivation behind the demonstration, what organizers hope to achieve, and why the issue resonates in Montreal.
What prompted me to organize this demonstration right now was a feeling of overwhelm, and also a feeling of solidarity.
