Protests planned nationwide after Minneapolis, Portland shootings

A wave of protests is slated to take place on Saturday across the U.S. in the wake of shootings this week involving federal authorities in Minneapolis and Portland, Ore.
Demonstrations are planned in those two cities as well as in Texas, New Mexico, Ohio, Florida and other states.
The group of organizers is being led by Indivisible, a social movement that’s focused on pushing back on the Trump administration.
“This weekend, people across the country are coming together to grieve, honor those we’ve lost, and demand accountability from a system that has operated with impunity for far too long,” Leah Greenberg, co-executive director of Indivisible, wrote in a statement.
“ICE’s violence is not a statistic, it has names, families, and futures attached to it, and we refuse to look away or stay silent,” she added.
Their demonstration is being backed by another protest group, 50501, and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
The groups say their goal is to “demand accountability, transparency, and an immediate investigation” into the death of Renee Good, “build public pressure” on elected officials and federal agencies and remove ICE from local communities. Their Saturday demonstrations follow a series of national protests against the Trump administration last year.
