Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

And how exactly should this strike harm ICE?
Pressures local and state politicians to push back. Make it more expensive to comply.
Doesn't sound like an effective plan. Better than nothing though.
Okay, since you seem to know better, what else should businesses do? Would you rather than bow down and be subservient to ICE? Maybe they should have sales on their wares so they can pad their bottom lines?
I bet it’s going to be a while before they reply.
What would?
Why aren’t Americans doing anything to fight back?
Oh not like that tho. I have no plans or ideas on how to actually do it effectively but this way is definitely not it.
Shut all the way the fuck up.
its not about directly harming ice. its about community building between the various labor unions, neighborhood groups and small businesses. giving people in the area a way to participate who are not in a position to do so in other ways.
nobody is avoiding the small deli with an ice out sign that has to be open today. people get that weeks into this they likely cant afford to miss even a bad days worth of business. its a reminder to hotels, large grocery chains and national resturants that when ice leaves we'll still be here and we'll remember who was silent or even profited from the siege.
ICE often uses businesses and shopping centers as raid points.
Home Depot & Lowes share data from license plate readers in their parking areas with ICE, to assist the federal agents in brutally & needlessly capturing brown skinned people who may be legal immigrants or citizens
Rob Lowe did nothing wrong!
Do you have labour day off and an eight instead of ten or twelve hour work day? It's because of a general strike. It's up to you if you think they are effective.
Where did you derive the expectation that this protest is supposed to harm ICE? Or was that just some wild-assed assumption on your part?
You see a coordinated effort by tons of people and businesses and this is your response?!
Speaking of coordinated efforts, this poster and a number of others are all over the comment sections of posts trying to denigrate this protest in Minnesota.
Guess some new talking points were given out.
