The day is meant to highlight the role immigrants play in the U.S., and some businesses are closing in protest to recent anti-immigrant policies.

As the Trump administration moves forward with its immigration agenda, immigration advocates across the country are mobilizing to protest.

Demonstrations across the country are ramping up, including one in Wichita on Sunday that drew hundreds of people from all backgrounds and immigration statuses. Demonstrators said their main goal was to address fear with education and provide support for the community of immigrants.

Hundreds of protesters took to the streets to rally against the crackdown on illegal immigration by the Trump administration on Sunday (February 2), enforced by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), an agency within the Department of Homeland Security.

Several restaurants and stores are closed as part of an initiative to raise awareness of migrants' role in the U.S. workforce.

Numerous businesses across the United States, including Minnesota, will shut their doors Monday, workers will stay home and consumers are urged not to shop.

Some businesses, such as Mitote Food Park and Castaneda’s Marketplace, will be closed as part of a protest against recent ICE raids.

Mexican business owners on the Southwest Side are among many people taking part in a social media-driven campaign that calls on immigrants to stay home from work and school and to shut down businesses and refrain from shopping.
