Protesters across the United States staged widespread “no work, no school, no shopping” strikes on Friday, shutting businesses, walking out of classrooms and gathering in city centres to oppose the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, as anger mounted over the killings of two people during recent enforcement actions.
According to news agency AP, the demonstrations came amid outrage over the killing of Alex Pretti, an intensive care nurse who was shot multiple times after using his cellphone to record Border Patrol officers during an immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis.
