Last week, Minnesota-based faith leaders, unions, and other community groups called for a strike and economic blackout on Jan. 23 in response to the Trump administration's Operation Metro Surge.

That operation has led to thousands of federal agents, including ICE, entering the Twin Cities and greater Minnesota, as well as the death of Renee Good, who was shot and killed by Jonathan Ross, an ICE agent, on Jan. 7.

"We are asking every single person, every family member, every teacher, every bus driver, every childcare worker, to come together, to be a community, to stand with one another," JaNaé Bates Imari, Auxiliary Minister at Camphor Memorial United Methodist Church in St. Paul, said during a Jan. 13 press conference announcing what organizers call The Day of Truth and Freedom. "What we have seen and what we have witnessed, what we have all gone through, is not normal."

As part of the economic blackout, organizers are planning a march in downtown Minneapolis.
