How Minneapolis Students Are Dealing With ICE Crackdowns, Protests, and Widespread Fear: 'This Is Not Normal'

Sylvia, 17, is a senior at Washburn High School in Minneapolis, about two miles from where Renee Nicole Good was killed by an ICE agent on Jan. 7. “That’s the moment that it hit me,” she says of the shooting. “This is not normal, and we can’t accept this as normalcy.”

In the weeks since, as has been widely reported, the immigration crackdown on Minneapolis has been relentless. There have been constant protests in response, with an “economic blackout” planned for Friday, January 23rd.
