AMNY announced a protest against the actions of ICE in Minneapolis
Thousands of protesters in New York gathered for a march in solidarity with the residents of Minneapolis and across America, protesting against the actions of the Migration Service (ICE). This was reported by AMNY on January 24.
"We are here because silence has become too expensive. Silence kills our neighbors, silence kills our souls," said Bishop Allen K. Shin is from the Episcopal Diocese of New York.
The publication notes that he called on protesters to march in support of victims of ICE violence, including 37-year-old activist Renee Goode, who was shot dead in Minneapolis, and more than 40 black and Latin American migrants whose rights were violated while in custody.
It is clarified that the protesters carried placards with the words "Hands off NYC" and "NO ICE", as well as banners "ICE is gone forever."
The action was attended by medical workers, religious leaders and activists from more than 70 organizations who demanded justice, an end to the terrorization of communities and actions from elected representatives.
Earlier in the day, it was reported that US President Donald Trump expressed bewilderment at the public outcry over the shooting involving a federal agent in Minneapolis and blamed local authorities for security.
The American leader, commenting on the incident, pointed out the circumstances of the incident and asked about the actions of law enforcement agencies on the spot.
