Hundreds of organizations from across the country are staging a nationwide economic shutdown on Friday to protest the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement policies and demand an end to ICE operations.
“The people of the Twin Cities have shown the way for the whole country,” organizers of the ICE Out Nationwide Shutdown said in a press release.
Less than 24 hours after the protest, federal agents shot and killed Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive care nurse at a VA hospital.
“Every day, ICE, Border Patrol and other enforcers of Trump’s racist agenda are going into our communities to kidnap our neighbors and sow fear.
“Pretti Good reason for a national strike,” read a graphic shared by both Pascal and Curtis on their Instagram page.
