MOORHEAD (KFGO) – Protesters gathered in Moorhead Friday afternoon as part of a series of protests in the Twin Cities and elsewhere. One protester says it’s worth standing in the double-digit below-zero temperatures.
“I’m very sad to say that it took some pretty major actions for me to wake up and realize how bad things are getting. So I’d rather trade in my comfort any day to help those that can’t stand up for themselves.” One protester said.
The protest was part of ‘ICE Out of Minnesota: Day of Truth and Freedom Demonstrations’. It took place near M State Technical College at the intersection of 20th St S and 28th Ave S.
In the Twin Cities hundreds of businesses closed Friday to protest the presence of ICE agents in Minnesota.
Community members are asking for no work, no school and no shopping. Some small business owners have called on elected leaders to act to limit U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in the state.
Friday afternoon, thousands of demonstrators marched from The Commons in downtown Minneapolis to the Target Center, where a rally was scheduled to take place.
