Protests are intensifying in Minneapolis and St. Paul following the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an immigration officer earlier this month. Labor unions, progressive organizations, and faith leaders are urging Minnesotans to participate in a large-scale protest on Friday by staying away from work, school, and businesses, calling for an end to immigration enforcement in the state. Many small businesses, especially those owned by immigrants, plan to close in solidarity, while schools and universities are also shutting down due to both the protest and extreme cold weather. Faith leaders from across the country are joining the demonstrations, emphasizing solidarity with migrants and demanding the removal of immigration enforcement agents from Minnesota and other cities.
