ICE, datacenters, voter suppression: key issues expected to draw thousands in US to protests

Thousands of Americans are expected to take to the streets this weekend in mass protests, according to The Guardian. The demonstrations center on three issues likely to define the upcoming midterm elections: violence by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, voter suppression, and datacenter construction. Some of the actions were planned in response to last week's ICE shootings, while others are annual events taking on new urgency. The Guardian reports the protests will unfold not only in big cities and progressive towns, but also in rural and red areas.
