Minnesota hockey fans shout at ICE during Alex Pretti tribute
Fans in Minnesota shouted for ICE to “go home” during a moment of silence for Alex Pretti at a women’s hockey game in Saint Paul.
Protests are being planned in New Hampshire, including one in Portsmouth, for this weekend against the actions of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), as part of a nationwide wave of demonstrations organized by progressive groups.
Several groups, including 50501, are organizing both a “National Shutdown” on Friday, Jan. 30, and several “ICE Out of Everywhere” protests across the U.S. on Saturday, Jan. 31. Events are scheduled in New Hampshire on both days. A rally is scheduled in Portsmouth for Sunday, Feb. 1.
In a statement, the national 50501 organization said the demonstrations are a response to what it described as “ICE’s kidnapping, detention, and murder of our fellow Americans.” The group is calling for the abolition of ICE, the dismantling of the Department of Homeland Security, and justice for those killed by immigration officers, including Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti this month.
The organization also cited the detention of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos in Minnesota, claiming ICE agents “kidnapped [him] to use as bait to capture his father.” ICE has disputed the claim, and Vice President J.D. Vance defended the agency.
Organizations involved with the New Hampshire protests include Southern NH Indivisible, NH 50501, and the Party for Socialism and Liberation.
