More than 300 anti-ICE protests planned across US this weekend

AI Summary
Nationwide protests, organized by the grassroots organization 50501, are planned across the United States this weekend, with over 300 demonstrations scheduled in all 50 states and Washington D.C. The "ICE Out of Everywhere" protests are a response to recent deaths involving federal immigration agents, including shootings and a homicide within a detention facility. Activists cite these incidents as evidence of excessive force and the militarization of immigration enforcement. Demonstrations include vigils, marches, and protests at ICE facilities, congressional offices, and airports, targeting airlines involved in deportations. Protesters are also urging lawmakers to defund the Department of Homeland Security until ICE agents are removed from communities and are pressuring companies that support ICE's activities.
