Labor unions, community leaders and faith groups are calling for an #economic #blackout in Minnesota-on Friday
to protest the surge of federal immigration agents in the state
and mourn Renee Good.
Organizers are urging Minnesotans not to work, shop or go to school.

The Trump administration has dispatched some 3,000 federal agents to the state,
in what it claims amounts to its largest enforcement operation thus far,
amid a national crackdown on immigration.
More than 2,400 people in Minnesota have been arrested in recent weeks.
An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer fatally shot Good, 37, in Minneapolis earlier this month.
