Protesters Rally in Reno, Tucson Against ICE Detentions, Due Process Concerns

Protests erupted across several U.S. cities in response to recent ICE and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) arrests of undocumented immigrants, with demonstrators demanding due process, transparency, and the protection of immigrant rights. In Worcester, over 200 people rallied after a Brazilian immigrant was arrested in front of her daughters, criticizing local police for allegedly aiding federal agents and calling for proof of warrants and due process. In Reno, protesters questioned the legality and transparency of ICE arrests, urging state officials to resist federal actions that could deny due process to immigrants. Tucson saw multiple protests after a man named Francisco was detained by CBP at St. Joseph's Hospital, with community members expressing concern that such arrests deter immigrants from seeking necessary medical care and infringe on basic human rights. Across these events, organizers emphasized the emotional toll on communities and argued that hospitals and other public spaces should be safe from enforcement actions. While officials asserted that arrests were conducted based on legal grounds, protesters insisted that the methods and locations of these detainments undermine trust and safety for immigrant families.
