Dozens of people gathered Friday, Jan. 30, at Slippery Rock University to protest the actions of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The protest was part of a nationwide movement called “ICE out Everywhere.”
The protests follow the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti and happen as the country continues to grapple with an immigration crackdown that has reached Butler County, too.
In Butler County, 8 people were taken into custody during a single targeted vehicle stop Jan. 22 at Ryan Homes at Park Place Townhomes in Cranberry Township.
The Butler County Sheriff’s Office worked with ICE to make the arrests at a construction site in the Cranberry Township community, according to an ICE spokesperson.
