A powerful coalition of unions, social movements, clergy, and small businesses called for a complete shutdown on Friday in Minneapolis, urging residents to suspend work, classes, and shopping as part of an economic boycott against Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Hundreds of businesses closed their doors despite freezing temperatures forecast by the National Weather Service. The city has seen continuous protests since January 7, following the killing of 37‑year‑old Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent, with demonstrators demanding an end to the persecution of migrants.
