Topline:
Demonstrations will be held across the nation on Friday and Saturday, including in Los Angeles, calling for the withdrawal of federal immigration agents.
Why now: Immigration raids ramped up over the summer and have shown no signs of slowing down. The protests are in response to the back-to-back killings of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti in Minnesota, as well as those who have died in ICE custody.
Background: It’s the second call to action for a national strike against the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement actions. Last week, thousands took to the streets of Los Angeles, Minneapolis and other cities, calling for an end to the ICE raids.
Here are the planned actions across L.A.:
Friday, Jan. 30
- Los Angeles City Hall at 1 p.m.
- ICE Detention Center in downtown at 3 p.m.
- Temple Grounds in Echo Park at 7 p.m.
- Amazon Water Garden in Santa Monica at 10 a.m.
- Monrovia Library Park at 5 p.m.
- San Fernando Mall at 6 p.m.
- Little Company of Mary Torrance at 11:30 a.m.
- Burbank City Hall at 12:30 p.m.
Saturday, Jan. 31
- Los Angeles City Hall at 2 p.m.
