Summary
Socialist and communist organizations staged protests across the US targeting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), but their call for a nationwide shutdown of work, school, and commerce largely failed. The protests were promoted by groups linked to tech tycoon Neville Roy Singham, who has ties to the Chinese Communist Party. The Party for Socialism and Liberation, a self-described Marxist organization, played a central role in the demonstrations. The protests were promoted as part of a “National Shutdown” urging opposition to ICE operations nationwide.
