Support for a
nationwide shutdown and
protest planned for back-to-back days this week is growing across the U.S. and New York state.
Organizers of the event are asking people to skip work and school as well as refrain from doing any shopping on Friday, Jan. 30, and take to the streets in protest on Saturday, Jan. 31, to speak out against recent immigration enforcement actions taking place across the country.
Here's what to know.
Tensions across the country have been high since two people were shot and killed by federal agents in Minneapolis, Minnesota earlier this month.
Renee Good was fatally shot on Jan. 7 by U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement agent
Jonathan Ross,
USA TODAY reported. The shooting came amid an ICE action in Minneapolis, Minnesota, when the 37-year-old mother of three drove her SUV forward near Ross after being told to exit her vehicle.
Widely seen footage of the deadly encounter has sharply divided the country.
Comment:
USA Today is a part of the Democrat Party Left Wing propaganda machine.
"Here is what to (really) know"
All counties control their border crossings and immigration.
This is not something new or racist.
There is no other country on our planet that would allow 20+ million unvetted people to illegally cross their border.
The Far Left Democrats and their hand maiden Media are lying about this whole situation.
This is about the Democrat Party's greed for power, it is not about compassion for immigrants.
This is about more Democrat voters, and they are lying about what this really going on.
Mainstream Americans should counter strike by boycotting the companies that participate in the "Day of action"
