Many thousands of Minnesotans demonstrated on Friday against the immigration police ICE and its interventions.

The protest march through central Minneapolis, where participants chanted, among other things, "protesting against ICE is not a crime," began with a concert where Bruce Springsteen played, among others.

In many other places around the United States, smaller demonstrations have been held, including in San Francisco, reports the AP.

On Saturday, at least ten churches in Minneapolis will let their bells ring at 12 o'clock, to show solidarity and try to unite the city, writes the Star-Tribune.

However, the newspaper reports that the general strike that several groups have called for looks to be somewhat smaller than last weekend's strike.
