Activists are calling for a nationwide shutdown on Friday, advocating “No Work No School, No Shopping” in a #protest against the #Trump admin’s sweeping #immigration crackdowns.

Organizers say Friday’s #GeneralStrike is part of a growing #nonviolent movement to combat #ICE’s aggressive enforcement tactics, which have come under renewed scrutiny following a series of fatal #shootings involving federal agents.

From restaurants & clothing retailers to bookstores & coffee shops, businesses across dozens of cities have announced that they are closed.

Protesters in Philadelphia, New York, Boise & Columbus are gathering at city halls, courthouses, statehouses & legislative buildings, according to an action tracker. Students at high schools & colleges in Florida, California & other states are staging walkouts.

The student groups – including the associations representing Black, Somali, Liberian, Ethiopian & Eritrean students & the graduate #labor #union – first gathered on 21 January to plan the calls for local & national #strikes. “We came out in huge numbers despite the cold,” he said, referencing last week’s actions. “We are now doing it again.”

Yeshidagna is part of a coalition of student groups that organized the #Minnesota shutdown last Friday, in which thousands of people flooded the streets in sub-zero temperatures & hundreds of businesses shut their doors to demand #justice for #ReneeGood, who was shot by an #ICE agent while trying to protect a neighbor. Last weekend, agents killed #AlexPretti, another resident who was observing agents’ activities.

“We are calling for this #strike because we believe what we have been doing in Minnesota should go national,” said Kidus Yeshidagna, president of the Ethiopian Students Union at the University of #Minnesota & one of the students organizing the strike.

“We need more people & lawmakers across the country to wake up.”

Those deaths include #ReneeGood & #AlexPretti in #Minneapolis, #KeithPorter in #LosAngeles, & #SilverioVillegasGonzález in #Illinois. Friday’s #national #protest leaders, many of them students at the University of #Minnesota, are calling for #ICE to leave the city after its nearly month-long operation. They say economic pressure through work stoppages & consumer boycotts is just one way to demand #accountability & #reform.

A new #Minnesota website lays out evidence to counter #federal #misinformation after #immigration agents fatally shot 2 residents during the #Trump admin’s immigration crackdown, deepening an unprecedented divide, experts said Monday.

Minnesota also went to court to preserve evidence from the Saturday shooting of #AlexPretti after its own investigators were blocked from the scene by federal authorities.

Jimmy Gurulé, a law professor at the University of Notre Dame, said he saw turf battles & other disagreements when he was a federal prosecutor working with local authorities on task forces in Los Angeles, & again when he was an undersecretary at the US Treasury Dept overseeing law enforcement operations under George W. Bush. But, he said, the situation in #Minnesota is “unprecedented” in his experience.

The release said the MN DOC never had custody of the man & could only find decade-old misdemeanor traffic-related violations. US #BorderPatrol Chief Gregory #Bovino had claimed at a news conference Saturday that the man had a significant criminal history.

…The Minnesota Department of Corrections launched a website its leaders said was dedicated to combatting #DHS #misinformation after #AlexPretti was killed. The site includes examples where MN ofcls honored federal requests to hold people under deportation orders to refute the #Trump admin claim that those people are routinely allowed to go free.

Experts say the line being drawn between #Minnesota & the #US government goes against years of cooperation between local & #federal agencies on law enforcement missions.

But they also said the state’s hand has been forced by an admin that has acted against decades of practice—from declining to allow #state officials access to evidence gathered by federal authorities to barring its own #CivilRights division from probing the #shootings of #AlexPretti & #ReneeGood….
