Hundreds of businesses in Minnesota have closed for the day as part of an economic blackout to protest the surge of ICE agents into the state. Organizers of the strike include faith leaders and unions, who are encouraging people to stay home from work, school and shopping.
Kieran Knutson, president of the Communications Workers of America Local 7250, says the strike comes "after weeks of living under the heavy weight of this racist campaign of terror by ICE agents" in the Twin Cities area. "Nothing runs without the working class in this country, and today we're going to show our power."

We take a closer look at the Trump administration's Monroe Doctrine-based "Donroe Doctrine" — a tightening of U.S. control over the Americas amid weakening global hegemony and internal divisions within the governing MAGA coalition. "As has happened in the past, when the U.S. has faced resistance or defeat elsewhere in the world, they come back 'home' to the Western Hemisphere. They use Latin America as an imperial laboratory, as they have since almost the founding of the United States," explains Alexander Aviña, an associate professor of Latin American history at Arizona State University. "It's just part of this long history of constant U.S. intervention in the region to prevent and not tolerate Latin American assertions of sovereignty and self-determination."
