On Friday, thousands of demonstrators flooded Minnesota’s streets, shutting down businesses and taking time off work to join a mass protest against the Trump Administration’s immigration crackdown in the state.

Organized by community leaders, clergy members, and labor unions, the “Ice Out of Minnesota: Day of Truth and Freedom” demonstration called for a “no work, no school, no shopping” economic blackout.

“Minnesotans are uniting in moral reflection and action to stand against the federal government’s actions toward our state,” a statement from the movement reads. “There will be a unified, statewide pause in daily economic activity. Instead, Minnesotans will spend time with family, neighbors, and their community to show Minnesota’s moral heart and collective economic power.” 

A large march kicked off Friday afternoon from Minneapolis’s Downtown Commons toward the Target Center arena, where a rally was scheduled to be held. Bishop Dwayne Royster—executive director of Faith in Action, which co-organized Friday’s event—said organizers expected more than 20,000 people to gather in solidarity at the rally.

“We are not sitting on the sidelines, and we won’t stand idly within our congregations’ walls—our actions today are speaking truth to power,” Royster told TIME while driving to the Target Center with other clergy members. “Let me be clear: Minneapolis and Minnesota have not only come together, but they’re also calling the nation to join us.” 

Protests have spread across Minnesota and the country following an ICE officer’s fatal shooting of Renee Good—a 37-year-old U.S. citizen and mother of three—in Minneapolis. The Trump Administration has defended the shooting as an act of “self-defense,” but video of the incident appears to contradict federal officials’ accounts, fueling outrage over the administration’s aggressive immigration enforcement tactics. On Tuesday, ICE officers detained 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father in a Minneapolis suburb, then transported them to a Texas detention center—sparking further scrutiny and backlash against the crackdown.

The movement behind Friday’s protests is calling for four key demands: ICE to vacate Minnesota; the officer who killed Good to face legal accountability; no additional funding for ICE in the upcoming congressional budget; and an investigation into the agency for “human and Constitutional violations of Americans and our neighbors.”

The group also urges Minnesota businesses to refuse entry and service to ICE officers moving forward.

Amid the ongoing demonstrations, around 100 clergy members were arrested without incident at Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport on Friday during a protest calling on airlines to stop cooperating with deportation flights. 

Hundreds of Minnesota businesses also closed their doors on Friday.

Nabil—owner of Central Minneapolis’s Gold Room Restaurant and Lounge, who declined to share his last name to preserve anonymity—was among those who shut his business in line with the protest day, though he provided free food to demonstrators.

Nabil told TIME that his business, along with others, has suffered because of ICE’s presence—residents are more afraid to be out in public. 

On Friday, however, “so many different people are out—all races, all ages,” he said, adding that the streets were “packed” during the protests.

“I think this embodies the classic phrase: ‘United we stand, divided we fall,’” he said. “It’s a beautiful thing to see.”
