TODAY 5:15 PM: Sens. Murphy, Van Hollen, Padilla, Reps. Frost, Jayapal headline “ICE Out For Good” Presser & Vigil at CBP
WASHINGTON – With Indivisible, MoveOn Civic Action, Public Citizen, Movimiento Migrante DC, ACLU, Interfaith Alliance, FreeDC and more, Senators Chris Murphy, Chris Van Hollen, Alex Padilla, Representatives Maxwell Frost and Pramila Jayapal will headline a rally and vigil outside of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection headquarters on Tuesday, January 13 at 5pm to build momentum for reining in the abuses of President Trump’s reckless and violent immigration enforcement agency and for kicking ICE out of Minnesota and our communities nationwide.
The rally comes in response to the escalation of ICE violence, the killing of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old wife and mother of three, and the months-long pattern of unchecked violence and abuse in communities across America. Public outrage over ICE’s unaccountable actions continues to swell, resulting in more than 1,000 peaceful, nonviolent protests in the days since Good’s murder by ICE.
