Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., supports nationwide anti-ICE shutdown taking place Friday but says her office will remain open to handle immigration cases and provide community support.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., pledged her « full support » for a nationwide anti-ICE protest scheduled for Friday, but said her office would not participate.
Organizers of the « National Shutdown » campaign have called for « no school, no work and no shopping » on Friday, arguing that « enough is enough » in the wake of fatal shootings involving Alex Pretti and Renee Good in Minneapolis amid a federal immigration crackdown across Minnesota.
« The people of the Twin Cities have shown the way for the whole country — to stop ICE’s reign of terror, we need to SHUT IT DOWN », organizers wrote on their website.
