Immigrant Activists Protest ICE Presence in Towson, Coral Gables, Madison Events

Since President Trump's election and the launch of "Project 2025," Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has intensified efforts to deport millions of immigrants, often using racial profiling. This crackdown has sparked strong opposition from students at Towson University, who successfully petitioned to keep ICE, labeled as "Homeland Security," out of their Career Fair due to fears and safety concerns. In Miami, activists have protested outside FIFA offices, urging the organization to exclude ICE agents from the 2026 World Cup venues, arguing that ICE's presence would intimidate immigrant communities and tourists. FIFA has yet to respond to these demands, despite activists emphasizing the organization's power to influence such decisions. Meanwhile, in Madison, Wisconsin, protests have been held at the World Dairy Expo to support immigrant workers following recent ICE arrests linked to human trafficking investigations, highlighting the critical role immigrants play in sectors like dairy farming. These events collectively illustrate a nationwide resistance against aggressive immigration enforcement policies and the call for safer, more inclusive environments for immigrant communities.
