Local Indivisible Groups Demand Action on ICE, CBP after Minnesota Shooting
On Saturday, January 24, U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents in Minneapolis shot and killed another American citizen protesting their presence, as protestors have been doing for weeks. CooperstownOneonta Indivisible, Butternut Valley Indivisible, Indivisible for Schoharie County, and Indivisible Cherry Valley decry this killing and the unacceptable, horrific, and brutal violence U. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and CBP are inflicting on the streets of America.
Enough. ICE and CBP need to leave Minnesota and Maine, where they have started another invasion operation, full stop. Our own New York senators, representatives, and Governor Hochul must call for the full cessation of ICE and CBP activities in all American cities, towns, and rural areas immediately.
