From the bustling streets of San Francisco to the heart of Los Angeles and beyond to Sonora, Californians flooded roadways in a powerful stand against ICE. The ‘ICE Out for Good’ campaign, coordinated by groups like the ACLU and 50501 Movement, drew thousands decrying what they see as brutal overreach by federal immigration authorities.

In Pasadena, a crowd of 500 filled the air with horns, applause, and resounding chants against ICE, the KKK, and fascism. This surge follows a year of relentless activism by these organizations in every U.S. state.

Fueling the fury were fresh tragedies: the fatal shooting of mother-of-three Renee Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, and a Portland incident where gunfire injured two. The 50501 Movement reported 32 deaths in ICE detention this year alone, painting a grim picture of agency accountability.

Diaz Allen, a key activist on the scene, emphasized the need for national transformation. ‘Join us in this fight and in grieving a woman who died for a cause,’ she appealed. Australian immigrant Jenny recounted watching disturbing footage from Minnesota, declaring ICE a danger that flouts constitutional protections, especially the 14th Amendment.

‘Every resident must have guaranteed rights,’ Jenny asserted, demanding ICE’s streetside presence end immediately. These rallies not only mourn losses but challenge the core of U.S. immigration policy, with California’s bold actions possibly inspiring a coast-to-coast movement against perceived injustice.
