Minneapolis, MN – Today and tomorrow, people are coming together in hundreds of cities across the United States and the United Kingdom to demand ICE off our streets, as part of the National Shutdown today, January 30th, and the ICE Out of Everywhere National Day of Action Saturday, January 31st. 

The need for immediate action could not be more clear: the cold-blooded executions of Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good by the U.S. Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the murder of Keith Porter by an off-duty ICE agent in Los Angeles, the death of 35 people in ICE custody, the ICE kidnapping 5-year old Liam Ramos to use him as bait to capture his father, and the ICE murder and coverup of Geraldo Campos’s in Camp East Montana in El Paso, Texas on January 3rd. 

50501 is organizing the ICE Out of Everywhere National Day of Action TOMORROW, January 31st, as a follow-up action, where everyday Americans are coming together to demand the immediate and permanent removal of ICE, DHS, CBP from communities at over 300 events nationwide.

“The purpose of the system is what it does,” said 50501 National Press Coordinator Hunter Dunn. “ICE exists to kidnap children, throw our neighbors into concentration camps, and execute Americans in the street. We must do more than simply abolish ICE: we must prosecute every single official complicit in their crimes against the American people.”

Shut It Down! 

50501 is partnering with the Somali Student Association, the Ethiopian Student Association, and the Black Student Union at the University of Minnesota, as well as the Council on American–Islamic Relations, the LA Tenants Union, and the Palestinian Youth Movement, for the National Shutdown today, January 30th. Organizers are asking that participants call out of work, call out of school, and not spend money, especially not at businesses that support ICE and the Trump Regime, during the shutdown.

“We have a moral duty to disobey unjust laws,” said 50501 National Communications Coordinator and veteran Logan Keith. “ICE has been ravaging our communities and targeting civilians, but every time they invade a community, we will keep teaching them the same lessons: that there are more of us than there are of them, and that We the People have the power.”
