ICE Out Forever: Widespread Protests in the United States
American human rights and civil organizations have announced the organization of more than a thousand demonstrations across the United States over the weekend, protesting the killing of an American woman by a member of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
According to the organizers, these protests are being held under the slogan “ICE Out Forever,” expressing escalating public anger toward what they describe as “excessive use of force” and human rights violations attributed to the agency’s agents, whether against migrants or American citizens.
The organizations emphasized that the demonstrations will include peaceful marches and vigils in front of government buildings and detention centers, demanding a transparent and independent investigation into the killing, accountability for those responsible, and either a reduction of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s powers or its complete dismantling.
These movements come at a time when the United States is witnessing a sharp divide over immigration policies and the role of security agencies, amid warnings that the continuation of such incidents may increase social tension and undermine trust between citizens and law enforcement institutions.
