Protests Mushroom As ‘Drawdown’ Of Attacks Fails To Materialize
Minneapolis—Determination to resist the continuing assault on democracy by the Trump administration is reflected in demonstrations breaking out here and from coast to coast. There are boycotts being organized by teachers and students in schools, customers at shopping plazas, and workers on the job in Minnesota by people angry about the administration’s backing off on claims that it was going to draw down its attacks on immigrants and their supporters.
Early in the morning on Jan. 30, people were already gathering at the Federal Building.
The repression was intensified Thursday with the arrest and jailing of journalists covering the protests.
