"ICE Out" events this weekend refer to a nationwide general strike and series of protests organized to demand the removal of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from American cities.

It's organized under the banners of "National Shutdown" and "ICE Out of Everywhere." These movements call for a "day of no school, no work, and no shopping" to create an economic blackout.
