People take part in a protest against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in New York on Jan. 7, 2026 after an ICE officer shot dead a woman in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n

The demonstrations also come as a federal agent shot and injured two individuals<\/a> in Portland, Oregon on Jan. 8. The Department of Homeland Security said<\/a> one of the individuals is affiliated with the Tren de Aragua gang, while the other is a \u201csuspected\u201d gang member. The shootings this week come amid ongoing tensions between federal immigration agents and communities across the nation.<\/p>\n

Other demonstrations are calling for both the removal of ICE agents from communities and demanding \u201can end to Venezuelan occupation.\u201d The U.S. seized Venezuela\u2019s President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro and his wife on Jan. 3. President Donald Trump<\/a> has previously said the U.S. would \u201crun\u201d the nation<\/a> until a democratic transition could occur. Several of this weekend’s demonstrations appear to be focused specifically on oil companies growing their profits as the Trump administration eyes Venezuela\u2019s oil industry<\/a>.<\/p>\n
