Anti-ICE protests have surged in recent weeks, drawing large crowds to major cities across the country. Demonstrators are decrying the agency’s strict enforcement tactics, which they argue disproportionately impact immigrant communities. These protests have intensified in the wake of heightened tensions between former President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, who have publicly exchanged sharp criticisms regarding immigration policy and national security measures.
Trump has recently criticized Musk for his comments on immigration, accusing him of failing to adequately address the issue. Musk, in turn, has accused Trump of undermining national security through his rhetoric. The clash between the two figures has sparked further outrage among protesters, who view their exchange as emblematic of a larger ideological divide over immigration policies. The situation has raised concerns about the potential for increased political polarization and its impact on public discourse and policy-making.
