Join us on Monday, January 26th, as we come together to protest ICE's reign of terror, including the escalation of lawless killings, kidnappings, and home invasions.
We will be protesting at Ocean and Water Streets in Santa Cruz from 4:30 - 6:00 pm. Please wear black and bring candles if you have them.
Update on ICE’s violent escalations as of Saturday, January 24th: ICE murdered another peaceful observer in Minnesota. Alex Pretti, who worked as an ICU nurse at the VA, reached out to help a woman who had been pushed to the ground by an ICE officer. Pretti was then knocked down, restrained by at least seven ICE officers, and shot multiple times.
The murder of Alex Pretti by ICE on Saturday morning follows the murders of Renee Good and Kevin Porter by ICE officers earlier this month. ICE has beaten and kidnapped many people this month, including the kidnapping of 5 year old Liam Conejo Ramos. An internal ICE memo - shared by a whistleblower - reveals that ICE intends to break down peoples' doors without the Constitutionally required judicial warrant.
In this moment, we can all see that ICE is a lawless and criminal organization that is invading our cities and terrorizing innocent people exercising their First Amendment rights.
Because of this we are calling for ICE OUT NOW! ICE OUT FOREVER!
