Organizers, led by the national grassroots organization 50501, say today’s protests are a response to a series of recent deaths involving federal immigration agents, including the fatal shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good in Minneapolis earlier this month, the homicide of Geraldo Campos in an immigration detention facility in Texas and the shooting of Keith Porter Jr by an off-duty Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer in Los Angeles.

Activists said the killings reflect what they see as a broader pattern of excessive force, detention abuses and the militarization of immigration enforcement.

“The national day of action is about fighting back against the escalations that the Trump administration has taken against the American people over the past year,” said Hunter Dunn, a national press coordinator for 50501 and organizer in southern California. “Reports about the killings of Porter and Campos, the ones not captured on camera, and so many others have pierced the veil for many people who until now were unaware of how bad things had gotten.”

Protesters are also calling for lawmakers to block funding for the Department of Homeland Security until ICE and Customs and Border Protection agents are removed from communities. On Thursday, Democratic senators agreed to advance several government spending bills to avert a partial shutdown but are still calling for ICE reforms as part of a separate stalled bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE. Democrats are calling for a code of conduct for ICE and for independent investigations of its operations.
