Organizers of an anti-ICE march set for Friday in downtown Minneapolis said it will now end with a rally inside Target Center.
The march, called “ICE Out of MN: A Day of Truth and Freedom,” will still begin at 2 p.m. in Commons Park, at 425 Portland Ave. S., but culminate with a rally inside the arena at 600 First Ave. N., organizers said Thursday night. The march had been scheduled to return to the park.
The Target Center rally will be a free ticketed event; the public can request a ticket here. The arena’s usual rules apply (no large bags, no strollers, no signs on sticks, etc).
Organizers, which include union representatives, faith leaders and community members, are urging Minnesotans not to go to work, school or shop in response to the ongoing federal immigration enforcement surge in the state.
More than 700 businesses and dozens of places of worship committed to close for the day, according to organizers.
