Nearly two weeks after an ICE officer’s fatal shooting of a local resident, Minneapolis streets are alive again with voices demanding justice. Young organizers and longtime activists have taken to the sidewalks, holding signs and chanting in unison.
Earlier this month, during what authorities described as a routine check, an ICE officer opened fire, leaving the community shaken. The victim, who advocates say was unarmed, became a rallying point for calls to rethink immigration enforcement in the U.S.
“We’re here to say enough is enough,” said Marisol Lopez, a local organizer leading last night’s march. ✊ Organizers have also hosted teach-ins on civil rights at nearby community centers, drawing students from the University of Minnesota.
Meanwhile, reports indicate the Trump administration is weighing military deployment to support local law enforcement—a move that civil rights groups warn could escalate tensions rather than calm them.
As daylight fades, the energy on the streets remains electric. Minneapolis young people are at the forefront, uniting across backgrounds to demand transparency and accountability. The story is still unfolding—stay tuned. #MinneapolisStrong 🚀
