by  • 

Courtesy MosaicNAZ.org

FLAGSTAFF — Protesters marched down Humphrey Street to the Flagstaff City Hall on Saturday, Jan. 31, 2026 to celebrate the ongoing removal of the City’s Flock surveillance cameras and to protest against ICE enforcement actions in Minneapolis, Minn. and other cities across the nation.

Nearly 200 protesters ended up waving signs, shouting slogans and cheering at honking motorists as part of the event. Protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) intensified during the past few weeks following the shooting deaths of ICE watchers Renee Nicole Good on Jan. 7 and Alex Pretti on Jan. 24.

The protest and related actions also added a few extra elements as dozens of local bicycle riders rode through downtown Flagstaff as part of the nationwide “Pedal for Pretti” memorial rides. Rides were held on Jan. 31 in Iowa City,  Milwaukee,  Portland, Ore., San Francisco and elsewhere.

But what does the journey from the sinkholes through thousands of feet of rock look like? Researchers at NAU are mapping the area to find the answer.
