Lansing protesters rally against immigration enforcement after Minnesota shooting
LANSING, Mich. (WILX) – Growing tension in Minnesota is the driving force behind protests in Mid-Michigan.
On Tuesday, a group of demonstrators gathered at the corner of Cedar Street and Edgewood Boulevard in Lansing, following the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by a federal agent in Minnesota over the weekend.
Protestors stood on the sidewalk, covering a two-block stretch. Many brought handmade signs, covered in phrases like “Abolish ICE,” pushing back against both the actions of immigration officers in Minnesota, and their presence in Michigan.
As safety concerns grow among U.S.-born citizens and immigrants alike, experts in Michigan said enforcement efforts are ramping up across the state.
