(Jewish Group) Jewish marchers protesting ICE disrupt Boston's rush hour
Hundreds of Jewish protesters and other activists marched through this city, disrupting rush hour traffic, calling out private companies that are doing business with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The protest Thursday afternoon was organized by Never Again Action, a new Jewish group of young activists that is invoking the memory of the Holocaust to refer to ICE’s treatment of undocumented immigrants and asylum seekers at the U.S. southern border and other locations.
The activists marched from the New England Holocaust Memorial about 1 1/2 miles across a bridge to the Cambridge office of Amazon in the heart of the city’s high technology hub.
The group said it targeted Amazon because its technology is being used by ICE to detain and deport immigrants, according to the Boston Globe, which reported that 12 demonstrators were arrested on trespassing charges. Amazon did not comment.
