Minneapolis venues shut down in ICE protest as federal museums face ‘troubling and dangerous’ White House demands.
A number of US museums took part in a solidarity strike last week in protest at the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in Minneapolis, which has so far led to the fatal shooting of two people by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
The Minneapolis Institute of Art and the Walker Art Center were among a number of cultural institutions in the “twin cities” of Minneapolis and St Paul to participate in the strike amid growing unrest over ICE’s intensifying operation in the city.
