MINNEAPOLIS — Even with a below-freezing forecast through the end of the week, several residents and business owners said they are planning to turn out Friday for an “ICE Out” day of protest in the city.
Organizers are calling for no work, no school and no shopping, and some businesses said they would close their doors as part of the civil action.

Good. That means the streets will be clear for ICE to come in and start raiding known illegal locations.
Okay guys...Get out the address books and license plate index...
Sound like they want to help.
What a joke. It is -20.
What a joke. It is -20.
I am really sure they are not being intimidated by the protestors, NOT!
Several?
And this makes news?
Every single day, more than “several” people protest at abortion clinics, but that never makes the news.
Is there intimidation going on? What will happen to my windows if I keep my shop open?
A Friday “day of rage” is common in Muslim countries.
No one needs these types of “businesses”. Let them close and be replaced by productive humans with brains, morals and creativity.
Any way we can trade Minnesota for parts of Canada? We’ll have to wall off that putrid collection of losers so that none escape into real civilization.
Just close Minneapolis. It’s tragic what has happened to a once fine city.
Sucking up to a bunch of rabid commies who are being paid to protest against arresting rapists and murderers will be good for business!!-sarc Did they hire the twit that was running Bud Light? Cracker Barrel?
With a windchill of -38F
If only I could find one iota of give a damn in my life hardened self.
RE: Closed businesses
Now Americans citizens will know where not to shop or eat.
Great. That will solve the affordability crisis. Maybe they should see that $6 coffees and Kimbucha’s and takeout food is not a wise consumer choice.
This could be a tragedy. What’s going to happen to all the children in the daycares and the people who need medical transportation?
I’ve seen a partial list of those businesses that are closing in “solidarity” and frankly, it’s not impressive. I haven’t heard of many of them.
The only one that stands out is the Guthrie Theatre.
What's wrong with these people?
