ATU stands with our members at Local 1005, and all who participated in the ‘Day for Truth & Freedom’ against the ICE in Minneapolis

The Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) stands in solidarity with our members at Local 1005, and all other workers and people in Minnesota, who participated in the 'Day for Truth & Freedom' against the ICE operations in Minneapolis. We are outraged by ICE's attacks on people engaging in their right to assemble and protest, its detainment of children, and its killing of Rene Good and a second, unidentified, person today.

We call on ICE to leave Minneapolis immediately to end the violence and chaos that it has inflicted on the people of Minnesota. We call further for transparency, meaningful investigations, accountability, and the full protection of civil rights of workers and our communities to assemble and protest without fear of violence or retaliation. In this moment of collective action, we stand united with all people of good conscious who are mobilizing for human rights, dignity, and justice.
