Another ICE Raid in Duluth - This One With a Happy Ending

Immigration & Customs Enforcement (I.C.E.) conducted another raid in Duluth this week, and on International Workers Day, no less. They abducted more roofers, this time in the Duluth Heights neighborhood. However, unlike last time, ICE was forced to release the two workers the same day when it was proved that they weren't undocumented - one was a citizen while another was an immigrant with work papers. Documented or undocumented, this persecution has to stop! Our reactionary government is trying to sow divisions within the working class. Reject this bigotry.

Here is coverage of this recent ICE raid from WDIO:  https://www.wdio.com/front-page/top-stories/ice-presence-in-duluth-heights-neighborhood/

We also want to remind our readers about these previous articles that we've published that provide some recent history of ICE's raids and detentions in the Twin Ports:
