Jan. 10 (UPI) -- More than 1,000 protests are planned across the country following federal officer-involved shootings of a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday and two others in Portland on Thursday.
The protests mostly are coordinated by the Washington, D.C.-based Indivisible Project, which largely is funded by billionaire George Soros' Open Society Foundations, including a $3 million donation in 2023 and millions more from 2018 through at least 2022.
The protests are billed as "ICE Out for Good Weekend of Action," using the acronym for the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency that is tasked with enforcing federal immigration laws.
"This weekend, people all over are coming together, not just to mourn the lives lost to ICE violence, but to confront a pattern of harm that has torn families apart and terrorized our communities," said Leah Greenberg, co-executive director of Indivisible, as reported by The Guardian.
