According to posts on Reddit and social media, anti-ICE protesters plan to rally January 9 at the Colorado State Capitol’s west steps and lawn, located at the intersection of Lincoln and Colfax Avenues. Immigration activist (and recent ICE detainee) Jeanette Vizguerra will participate and speak at the gathering, according to organizers.
Some schools are closed on Friday due to ongoing ICE activity in the Twin Cities metro, meanwhile additional anti-ICE protests are happening in Minneapolis after the fatal shooting of Renee Good earlier this week.
Jeffrey Sharlet, a veteran journalist and professor at Dartmouth College who was an early chronicler of the rise of Trumpism and its ties to religiosity, said these rallies were shaped by the prosperity gospel, a branch of Protestantism rooted in the supposition that, effectively, God wants you to be rich.
