National ‘blackout’ planned over DHS funding, Minnesota shootings

Protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement are spilling out of Minneapolis on Friday, with a nationwide shutdown planned as organizers ask people to stay home ahead of votes to fund the agency.

Large demonstrations were expected in Minneapolis and other major cities, including Los Angeles, New York and Chicago. More than 250 actions were planned across 46 states for those participating in a “blackout day” of no work, no school and no shopping in an effort to “shut down the economy.”
