From Los Angeles to New York, a wave of protests targeting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids is gaining momentum nationwide. Thousands of young activists are flooding streets in cities like Chicago, Atlanta, and Seattle, turning local demonstrations into a unified call for immigration reform.
📢 "This is about basic human dignity," said 21-year-old organizer Maria Torres at a rally in Miami. Protesters wield signs with slogans like "Abolish ICE" and "Families Belong Together," blending TikTok-inspired visuals with traditional civil rights chants.
🚨 The movement—fueled by Gen Z’s social media savvy—has drawn comparisons to 2020’s racial justice protests. While authorities emphasize ICE’s role in border security, critics argue recent raids disproportionately affect vulnerable communities. With midterm elections approaching, the protests could reshape political conversations about immigration.
