Thousands of demonstrators participate in a rally and march during an "ICE Out” day of protest on January 23, 2026 in Minneapolis. Community leaders, faith leaders and labor unions urged Minnesotans to participate in what they called a "day of action" as hundreds of local businesses closed during a statewide general strike held in protest against immigration enforcement operations in the region.
