General Strike Spreads From Coast to Coast



Hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets across the country today to demand an end to ICE’s reign of terror.

Thousands of protestors blockade an ICE office in Baltimore.

They've shut down access to the building and are blocking employees from leaving the parking garage.
