Protests defending immigrant communities against ICE raids have been taking place in cities across the U.S., including New York, Seattle, Chicago, Austin, Las Vegas, Madison and Washington. This is a protest organizer in San Antonio.

J.C. Casteneta: “They’re bringing up the troops. They’re bringing up ICE. People are scared. But they’re the ones that should be scared, because us, as a community, we can make a difference.”

Texas Governor Greg Abbott said he has deployed more than 5,000 National Guard troops in his state.
Meanwhile, the sheriff in Florida’s Brevard County warned protesters his officers would “kill” them, ahead of expected nationwide protests this weekend.

Sheriff Wayne Ivey: “If you throw a brick, a firebomb or point a gun at one of our deputies, we will be notifying your family where to collect your remains at, because we will kill you graveyard dead.”

More than 1,800 rallies are planned across the U.S. Saturday under the banner of “No Kings Day,” coinciding with a $45 million taxpayer-funded military parade and 79th birthday bash for Trump.
