The execution of Alex Pretti is part of a brutal pattern of ICE entering American communities, terrorizing its citizens, and abducting and killing innocent civilians. Alex Pretti's execution was not the first tragic incident to occur since ICE paramilitary forces invaded Minnesota. There have been countless abuses against civilians, families have been ripped apart, children have been used as bait and abducted, and ICE has murdered multiple civilians while on patrol or while holding civilians in ICE facilities. This cannot continue.

The onus is on the US, the people, to stop this campaign of terror. This is a direct attack on our communities AND our democracy. Inspired by the solidarity of the people of Minneapolis, on January 31, we will come together and say "ICE OUT. ICE out of our schools, ICE out of places of worship, ICE out of our communities, ICE OUT OF EVERYWHERE."

Bring, make, or purchase signs. (ICE OUT signs will be sold for $10; proceeds will be split between the Troy Democratic Club and the ACLU of Minnesota.) Dress warmly. Take care of yourself and your neighbors. As are all of our events, this is a peaceful demonstration.
