Thousands of U.S. Workers, Students Protest Trump Immigration Crackdown Across Cities

Thousands of U.S. workers and students marched through major cities and university campuses on Tuesday, protesting President Donald Trump’s immigration policies as his second term completed one year. Demonstrations erupted nationwide against what activists described as an aggressive federal crackdown on immigration, with tensions heightened by recent controversial enforcement actions that have sparked widespread outrage.

Protests were reported in Washington and several smaller cities, including Asheville, North Carolina, where demonstrators marched through downtown chanting slogans against ICE, according to online videos. In Minneapolis, activists rallied following the fatal shooting of 37-year-old mother Renee Good during an immigration raid earlier this month, an incident that has intensified criticism of the use of force by federal immigration authorities.

Student-led protests also expanded across the country, including demonstrations in Cleveland, Ohio and walkouts in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where students joined a “Stop ICE Terror” rally at the state capitol. The actions were organized by left-leaning groups such as Indivisible and 50501, along with labor unions and grassroots organizations opposing immigrant detention camps, including facilities in El Paso, Texas. Protests were expected to continue westward later in the day, with gatherings planned in cities like San Francisco and Seattle.
