Minneapolis Businesses to Close, Residents Advised to Stay Home on Friday

A general strike is planned in Minneapolis on Friday, with many businesses announcing closures in protest of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The event, dubbed “ICE Out of Minnesota,” aims to raise awareness about the impact of ICE’s presence in the state.

According to reports, several organizations, including coffee shops and cultural institutions, have decided to close their doors on Friday. This includes the Northeast Minneapolis coffee shop, which is offering a warm space for participants.

The strike is expected to affect various sectors, with some businesses planning to remain closed throughout the day. Residents are advised to stay home and avoid participating in any activities that may involve ICE or law enforcement.

The Walker Art Center has also joined the list of organizations closing on Friday, as part of the growing movement against ICE’s presence in Minnesota.

Details about the strike and its impact on the community will be available through local news outlets.
