Protests against President Donald Trump and his waves of immigration enforcement actions in cities across the United States unfolded Saturday after a woman was killed and two people were injured in separate shootings by immigration officers this week.

The shootings in Minneapolis and Portland, Oregon, have sparked fierce debates across the nation. White House officials defended the agents’ actions, saying officers used their firearms in self-defense; prominent Democratic leaders have blasted the administration for its militarized deployment of immigration authorities and said they will move to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem over the shooting of Renee Nicole Good.

Protests in the days since a federal immigration officer killed Good have remained largely peaceful, despite incidents of property damage that led to arrests Friday night, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said. In Washington, D.C., on Saturday afternoon, protests gathered with chants of “ICE must go now, Trump must go now” outside the White House. Demonstrators in downtown Los Angeles shut down lanes of traffic.

Over 1,000 protests were planned for Saturday and Sunday in cities and towns across the country in response to Trump’s polarizing domestic agenda. Cities including Indianapolis; Des Moines, Iowa; Marion, Ohio; Coachella, California; and many others participated in protests and marches.

3. Useless protesting that will be an afterthought in 2 years.

There is a growing movement in other Democratic progressive forums like reddit that is convinced that this will take great necessary evil to fix it.

4. Protests won't do anything

They're shooting dissenters now, because it's the most expedient way to force compliance. And they're getting away with it, because they are armed and the left is not.
They own the Supreme Court. They have turned the DoJ into their enforcement arm.
You can protest and go home feeling good about yourself, and the fascists won't care one iota.
Until republican owned stuff goes up in flames, it's over.

5. "Protests won't do anything" - Disagree in that it lets others know that "they are not alone"

It's a collective way to encourage people to "not give up" because they can visualize the fact that others also agree with how they feel.
