00:00Meanwhile, in the United States, more than 100 people were arrested outside Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport
00:07during a peaceful demonstration against ongoing ICE operations in Minnesota.
00:12The protests were called by civic leaders, trade unions and community organizations in rejection to anti-immigration raids
00:20ordered by the Trump administration, which has focused the city of Minneapolis as the center of its offensive
00:28against the migrant community.
00:30The mobilization, called Day of Truth and Freedom, seeks to cause an economic blackout,
00:36calling on the population not to work, not to attend classes and not to make purchases during the day.
00:43The protesters demanded the immediatization of ICE operations and accountability
00:48for what they describe as abuses and loss of human life.
00:52Amen.
00:53On the other hand, in the state of Georgia, around 600 high school students in the city of Dultut
01:02walked out of class to join the protests against immigration and customs enforcement operations
01:08and in solidarity with the Minnesota General Strike.
01:13Tensions in Minnesota escalated following the death of Renee Good, who was shot by an ICE agent
01:19in early January and the arrest of several minors, including a five-year-old boy,
01:24an event that has generated outrage among residents and activists.
01:28Protests in solidarity with Minnesota have also spread to various parts of the country.
