Organizers said they chose the location because they believe detainees are being held inside and hope those individuals hear their support.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">This is one of several Philadelphia rallies that have come together since Wednesday, when an Immigrations and Customs Enforcement officer shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Good in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The Trump administration has called the killing an act of self-defense, but local officials dispute that claim and say video evidence suggests otherwise.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Heather Fox of Kensington said she believes the shooting reflects a troubling trend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;We&#8217;ve dove into fascism headfirst,&#8221; Fox said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t understand where people&#8217;s humanity is, after what happened this week.

My mom didn&#8217;t get her citizenship until I was like 5,&#8221; said Fernando Munoz-Piedra of Center City. &#8220;There&#8217;s a lot of paranoia and that&#8217;s concerning.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The rally was one of several demonstrations held in Philadelphia in recent days as activists continue to call for changes to immigration enforcement policies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Demonstrators marched through Philadelphia on Saturday calling for the abolition of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and protesting&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":83431,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[41892,41890,41891,7391,69,71,70,743],"class_list":{"0":"post-83430","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-philadelphia","8":"tag-david-gibson","9":"tag-federal-detention-center","10":"tag-heather-fox","11":"tag-minnesota","12":"tag-philadelphia","13":"tag-philadelphia-headlines","14":"tag-philadelphia-news","15":"tag-u-s-immigration-and-customs-enforcement"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83430","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=83430"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83430\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/83431"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=83430"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=83430"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=83430"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
