Hundreds of people gathered in Alexandria yesterday (Sunday) to protest federal immigration enforcement, days after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis.
Demonstrators displayed anti-ICE signs and American flags along Mount Vernon Avenue at Four Mile Run Park Plaza, earning loud honks from passersby throughout the afternoon. They chanted “ICE Out For Good” while memorializing Renee Good, joining at least 1,000 similar protests nationwide by the organizing group Indivisible.
Indivisible co-founder Ezra Levin joined the crowd for a rally alongside Del. Elizabeth Bennett-Parker (D-5), the Rev. Robin Razzino and representatives from Tenants and Workers United, ICE Out of Alexandria, Grassroots Alexandria, Alexandria for Palestinian Human Rights and Jewish Voice for Peace.
