History

Historical Context

The anti-ICE protests in 2018 were sparked by the Trump administration's "Zero Tolerance Policy," which led to over 2,000 children being separated from their parents. Beginning on June 17 in Portland, Oregon, the movement quickly spread nationwide, with over 200 protests reported. This unrest reflects a significant divide between state and federal authorities regarding immigration enforcement and accountability.
