On Jan. 7th, an American citizen was killed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Minneapolis, Minnesota. On Jan. 8th, ICE shot a couple in Portland, Oregon. This shocking violence is part of a broader and rapidly expanding pattern of unchecked brutality, impunity, and abuse carried out by federal immigration enforcement agencies against members of our communities. A broad coalition of groups across the country is calling for a coordinated Ice Out For Good Weekend of Action on Saturday, January 10th to demand accountability, honor lives lost, and make visible the human cost of ICE’s actions. Join 50501 Central Oregon this Saturday, January 10, 2:30-3:30 pm, at Peace Corner, downtown Bend (corner of Wall St and Newport Ave). A core principle behind all ICE Out For Good events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values, and to act lawfully at these events. This event is part of our ongoing series of protests every Saturday and as usual we will have our Neighborimpact food drive bin available. Please consider bringing shelf stable food items
