Rallies over fatal shootings led to street confrontations in Los Angeles

A coordinated ‘National Shutdown’ protest against US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) erupted on Friday, with massive crowds filling the streets of Minneapolis, and culminating in intense confrontations in downtown Los Angeles.

Organizers called on Americans to abstain from work, school, and shopping in a mass strike aimed at halting what they call “ICE terror” and pressuring the federal government to end the immigration raids.

The protests were fueled by growing outrage over the fatal shootings of two US citizens – Renee Good and Alex Pretti – by federal agents during recent enforcement operations in Minneapolis.
