They differed slightly in solutions as well as crowd makeup \u2013 white older adults dominated the morning\u2019s march organized by the groups behind the No Kings protests, while a more racially diverse crowd swathed in keffiyehs and N95 face masks led the afternoon\u2019s, planned by the local Democratic Socialists of America chapter. However, both groups shared a goal: for ICE to get out of American communities and to put an end to Donald Trump\u2019s warmongering in Venezuela.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">\u201cFrom Venezuela to Minneapolis, all we\u2019re seeing is a regime that is scrambling, willing to kill its own citizens, willing to kill foreign citizens, to maintain its power,\u201d said Deborah Rose Hinchey, co-chair of the city\u2019s Democratic Socialists of America chapter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Philadelphia\u2019s protests were just two of more than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2026\/jan\/10\/ice-out-for-good-protests\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">a thousand planned<\/a> for this weekend in the wake of three ICE-related shootings, one fatal, in the week since the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/trump-administration\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">Trump administration<\/a>\u2019s seizure of Nicol\u00e1s Maduro, Venezuela\u2019s president. Many of the events, such as the Saturday morning protest in Philadelphia, were planned as part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2026\/jan\/10\/ice-out-for-good-protests\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">ICE Out for Good weekend of action<\/a> called by national organizations, including Indivisible and the American Civil Liberties Union, following the ICE killing of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis on Wednesday. The Democratic Socialists of America had also planned a national day of action to stop Trump\u2019s \u201cillegal war\u201d in Venezuela.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">\u201cThey\u2019re murdering legal observers. They\u2019re being blatant about the reality that they\u2019re invading countries for oil. This is not a fringe radical thing. This is murder and illegal war crimes,\u201d said Rick Krajewski, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/pennsylvania\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" data-component=\"auto-linked-tag\">Pennsylvania<\/a> representative, who represents parts of west Philadelphia, after addressing the crowd at the afternoon\u2019s protest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">With planned actions in all 50 states, events will continue into Sunday.

On Thursday night, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ctpublic.org\/news\/investigative\/2026-01-09\/video-vehicles-drive-through-anti-ice-demonstration-in-hartford\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">vehicles believed to be operated by ICE agents<\/a> veered into a crowd of protesters in Hartford, Connecticut, and three protesters were arrested; Hartford police are looking into criminal charges over the car incident. That same night, six protesters were arrested in Portland, the site of another ICE shooting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Elected officials in Minnesota, where protests have been particularly inflamed, announced on Saturday that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.startribune.com\/ice-raids-minnesota\/601546426\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">30 protesters<\/a> had been arrested over \u201cproperty damage\u201d during protests on Friday night. This morning in the city, an Associated Press photographer observed two ICE agents with long guns approach a protester who had been following them, telling him it was his \u201cfirst and final warning\u201d before ultimately driving off. <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/governorwalz.mn.gov\/post\/3mc3gh4wehc2z\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/governorwalz.mn.gov\/post\/3mc3gh4wehc2z\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">governor Tim Walz<\/a>, both Democrats, expressed support for local law enforcement. But the <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/johnpfaff.bsky.social\/post\/3mc3xhyng6s22\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">local police union issued a statement in support of ICE<\/a> \u2013 a far cry from the Democrats, including Frey, who told ICE to \u201cfuck off\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">In Philadelphia, police did not halt or appear to make any arrests at either march on Saturday. Anna, a history teacher carrying a Philadelphia Federation of Teachers flag, came to the morning march after her students had brought up Good\u2019s killing in class. (All but three of those who spoke with the Guardian on Saturday requested pseudonyms, speaking to the anxiety plaguing protesters after Good\u2019s killing.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">\u201cMost of my students are Black, and they\u2019ve already experienced violence from the system and from police, and they see this and realize there\u2019s just another force out there,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">An older woman named Ellen said she\u2019d been protesting ICE in Philadelphia for 15 years, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/philadelphia\/news\/dozens-of-phila-cabbies-nabbed-in-illegal-immigration-sting\/\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">since the agency targeted local cabdrivers in a sting operation<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s been years and years since they have been committing outrageous acts against our friends and neighbors,\u201d she said. \u201cNow they\u2019re murdering Americans along with harassing and detaining innocent immigrants.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Mary and Cara, two women who came to the morning Philadelphia protest together, were motivated by their horror at what\u2019s been happening with ICE since Trump retook office last year. \u201cI\u2019m Jewish, I\u2019ve been studying the Holocaust since before I can remember, and this is how this happens,\u201d said Mary. \u201cThe more crazy shit happens, we just get more and more numb to it. I think it\u2019s really easy to become complacent.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"8615b6cf-1345-462f-9fad-ea561df833cd\" data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\" data-spacefinder-type=\"model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.ImageBlockElement\" class=\"dcr-173mewl\"><figcaption data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\" class=\"dcr-fd61eq\"><span class=\"dcr-1inf02i\"><svg width=\"18\" height=\"13\" viewbox=\"0 0 18 13\"><path d=\"M18 3.5v8l-1.5 1.5h-15l-1.5-1.5v-8l1.5-1.5h3.5l2-2h4l2 2h3.5l1.5 1.5zm-9 7.5c1.9 0 3.5-1.6 3.5-3.5s-1.6-3.5-3.5-3.5-3.5 1.6-3.5 3.5 1.6 3.5 3.5 3.5z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"dcr-1qvd3m6\">The protest outside the ICE field office in Philadelphia.<\/span> Photograph: Matthew Hatcher\/AFP\/Getty Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Several of the protesters criticized the current state of economic affairs for Americans, particularly how much American money is spent on immigration enforcement versus citizens\u2019 basic needs. \u201cPersonally, I think that until we have every child fed and housed, there\u2019s no reason to put any money into immigration enforcement,\u201d Cara said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">That sentiment was echoed by one of the afternoon protest\u2019s speakers, Francesca, a member of the national DSA\u2019s national political committee as well as Philadelphia\u2019s DSA. \u201cThings are piling up. Things are accumulating. The genocide in Gaza and then the aggression against Venezuela, the illegal kidnapping of Maduro,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd now this violence and, really, state executions carried out by ICE \u2013 I mean, there\u2019s only so much people can take of this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">They also noted that people are struggling to pay rent, for healthcare and the increasing cost of groceries. \u201cThey can\u2019t make it to the end of the month \u2013 but there is always money for war,\u201d Francesca said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Organizers believe that this impossible dissonance will continue to push people into protest. \u201cI think that the more the American public sees exactly what this totalitarian dictatorship and regime is doing, the more we\u2019re going to see days like today or yesterday, with thousands and thousands of people in the street, in pouring rain,\u201d said Hinchey.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>#protests #condemn #ICE #killing #Renee #Good #regime #kill #citizens #Protest<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On a rainy Saturday in Philade&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11217,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11216"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11216"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11216\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/11217"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11216"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11216"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11216"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
