Yoga students in Minneapolis demand instructors condemn ICE

WASHINGTON (TNND) — Yoga students in Minneapolis berated instructors for allegedly being complicit in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in recent video footage.

A video posted by a customer at the Yoga studio showed 13 women speaking sternly to two staffers in the lobby.

The students call on the instructors to condemn ICE.

“Give us answers, let’s go, let’s hear it – why are you being silent?” one person said.

“You’re not being berated – you’re being asked hard questions. Berating is what our neighbors are living through,” another person said.

Students ant the studio argued that the major corporation which owns the business had been staying silent on the ICE operations.

Eventually, the chain did put up anti-ICE signs in the studios, according to the New York Post.

Multiple anti-ICE protests have occurred across the country, especially at its epicenter in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Two demonstrators were killed while protesting ICE operations under the Trump administration. The FBI is investigating both instances.

Border czar Tom Homan announced this week that federal agents in Minnesota would be reduced by 700.

“While we had our differences, one thing was clear, we all committed to public safety for all who live in the Twin Cities,” Homan told reporters. “We have made significant progress under the direction of President Trump, working with state and local officials here in Minnesota, and I expect that to increase in the coming weeks.”
