Labor unions and civil society groups say they are ready to brave a dangerous winter storm to protest immigration enforcement across the state.Labor unions and civil society groups, including religious leaders, plan to take to the streets on Friday across Minnesota to protest the Trump administration's immigration enforcement operations. Thousands of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have been deployed to the Democratic-led city of Minneapolis, as President Donald Trump pushes ahead with his campaign to deport undocumented immigrants across the country. Protests taking place amid severe cold Businesses are shutting up shop for the day with protests set to take place amid temperatures of -21 degrees Fahrenheit with a wind chill of -40 (-29 degrees Celsius with a wind chill of -40 degrees Celsius). While states across the US have declared a state of emergency because of the severe winter storm, in parts of Minnesota and North Dakota, temperatures could plummet to as low as -45 degrees Celsius, according to the National Weather Service. One of those mobilizing compared the presence of immigration officers to the winter weather warnings. "Minnesotans understand that when we're in a snow emergency … we all have to respond and it makes us do things differently," said Kate Havelin of Indivisible Twin Cities, one of the more than 100 groups preparing to protest. "And what’s happening with ICE in our community, in our state, means that we can't respond as business as usual," she said. 'ICE OUT!' protest flyers say Flyers containing messages of "ICE OUT!" have been posted on business doors, referring to the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. Organizers say that more than 700 businesses across the state will be closed for the day in solidarity with the protest. There have been daily protests in the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul since the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE officer on January 7. The killing has sparked a domestic debate over the use of force being used by ICE agents, while questions have also been asked about the level of training. Leader of progressive organization Faith in Action, Bishop Dwayne Royster, arrived in Minnesota on Wednesday from Washington, DC. "We want ICE out of Minnesota," he said. "We want them out of all the cities around the country where they're exercising extreme overreach." Hundreds of people gathered at Minneapolis-Saint Paul ⁠International Airport on Friday to protest flights of detained migrants while clergy members knelt and prayed on an airport road. Authorities said they overstepped their permit, and about 100 clergy members and dozens of other protesters were arrested, according to organizers. Detention of 5-year-old spurs anger The case of a 5-year-old boy detained by ICE agents along with his father outside their Minneapolis home has stirred even more anger. He was taken by agents on Tuesday after returning from preschool and is being held in an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Texas. Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino looked to shift the focus from the detention of the child and has attacked media outlets for, in his view, inadequate coverage of crimes committed by undocumented immigrants. Vice President JD Vance confirmed the child was among those detained, but argued that agents were protecting him after his father "ran" from officers. "What are they supposed to do? Are they supposed to let a 5-year-old child freeze to death?" Vance said. Edited by: Sean Sinico
