VIDEO | Hundreds of students and Ithaca residents rallied at Bernie Milton Pavilion in the Commons on Friday, to take a stand for the people killed by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers. They call to “stop ICE’s reign of terror,” according to an Instagram post made by the rally’s organizers.
Organized by several on and off-campus organizations, including Cornell Young Democratic Socialists of America and the Tompkins County Workers’ Center, the “ICE Out of Ithaca Rally” was part of a national shutdown to protest ICE’s actions. The shutdown, called for by Minnesota-based student organizations and other groups across the nation, aimed to draw attention to the murders and prompt changes in ICE funding.
