Minnesota Businesses Shut, Crowds Brave Freezing Cold to Protest Immigration Raids

Minnesotans protested in downtown Minneapolis on Thursday, defying frigid temperatures. They demonstrated against a recent federal immigration enforcement campaign in their state. The action follows weeks of community resistance to the operations. In a show of solidarity, numerous local businesses chose to close for the day. The campaign, led by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), has increased arrests and deportations. Protesters called for an end to the crackdown.
