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.

FLAGSTAFF — A national shutdown is planned for Friday, Jan. 30 as part of the growing opposition to the ICE crackdown operation in Minneapolis, Minn. Under the banner of”No Work, No School. No Shopping. Stop Funding Ice,” organizers hope the action will convince the Trump administration to end their operation in Minneapolis.

“The people of the Twin Cities have shown the way for the whole country – to stop ICE’s reign of terror, we need to SHUT IT DOWN,” the organization reported on its website.

FLAGSTAFF — Anti-ICE protesters braved a chilly and breezy Friday afternoon to take part in a nationwide demonstration in response to a federal immigration crackdown in Minnesota.

Taking positions in front of the Flagstaff City Hall, the majority of protesters waved a variety of anti-ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) signs on Jan. 23, 2026.

The local protest was organized by Indivisible Northern Arizona in response to ICE activity in Minneapolis, Minn., which included the shooting death of immigrant supporter and ICE watcher Renee Nicole Good on Jan. 7, 2026.

“Thank you to everyone who turned out today in solidarity with Minnesota! Our volunteer counted 550 people at the height of the protest,” Indivisible reported on its Facebook webpage.
