Hundreds of UC Berkeley students and community members participated Friday in a National Day of Action protesting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, operations across the country.
The Day of Action follows the Day of Truth and Freedom, a general strike that occurred in Minneapolis last Friday in response to ICE’s killing of Renée Good. Another Minneapolis resident, Alex Pretti, was killed last weekend, and Keith Porter was shot in Los Angeles in December. Six other individuals have died in ICE custody this year.
More than 500 protesters from Berkeley traveled by BART from Downtown Berkeley to Mission Dolores Park in San Francisco, meeting up with tens of thousands of demonstrators. In Berkeley, local businesses organized a walkout, joining community members for a protest in Elmwood.
