On January 23, 2026, thousands of anti‑ICE protesters marched through downtown Minneapolis demanding ICE withdraw after the fatal shootings of Renée Nicole Good and Alex Pretti; organizers held a midday rally at the Target Center and clergy staged an airport demonstration that led to dozens of arrests. Hundreds of Minnesota businesses closed in solidarity during what activists called the “ICE Out of Minnesota: Day of Truth and Freedom.” Organizers then urged a nationwide “National Shutdown” on January 30—no work, no school, no shopping—to pressure lawmakers. Critics called protesters disruptive, with some remarking publicly online, “They need to get a JOB.” (inquirer.com)
