Monday, January 12, 2026- Tens of thousands of protesters poured into major U.S. cities this weekend as a broad left‑wing coalition rallied against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The “ICE Out for Good” campaign called a nationwide “weekend of action,” with more than 1,000 events organized across the country to demand accountability and policy change following a fatal encounter between an ICE agent and a civilian in Minneapolis. The movement was led by Indivisible, the same activist network behind recent high‑profile demonstrations against federal policies and enforcement tactics.
Across the protests, demonstrators denounced what they describe as systemic violence by ICE and called for an end to aggressive immigration enforcement. Rallies in cities including Minneapolis, Houston, and Los Angeles saw both peaceful marches and clashes with police, resulting in multiple arrests and heightened tensions with law enforcement.
Protesters, families, and civil rights advocates used the mobilization to amplify demands for transparency, independent investigations into the shooting, and broader reform of federal immigration operations.
The nationwide demonstrations come amid deepening national debate over immigration policy and federal enforcement authority. Supporters argue the scale of protests underscores widespread frustration and a growing coalition united by civil liberties concerns, while opponents warn that such actions risk public disorder and complicate law enforcement efforts.
With momentum continuing to build, organizers are planning follow‑up actions and calling for sustained pressure on lawmakers and federal agencies to respond to protesters’ demands.
