SAN JOSE — Protesters have continued demonstrations throughout San Jose’s east side through the weekend, voicing opposition to recent ICE activity in the South Bay and greater Bay Area last week.
Over 200 protesters gathered along King and Story roads Sunday afternoon, mirroring protests in several other major cities throughout the country, such as Los Angeles and Dallas, as immigration enforcement officials launched covert operations throughout the U.S.
Drivers in the area should seek alternate routes through Alum Rock and King Road, as protesters briefly spilled into the roadway to march, holding signs and Mexican Flags, among other protest messages. Police arrived for a short time to direct traffic, after which the roads were promptly reopened.
“Sí se puede!” protesters chanted.
Many held signs, some with messages such as “Nobody is illegal on stolen land,” and “Don’t bite the hand that feeds you.”
This follows other protests against ICE and recently re-elected President Donald Trump last week, including one on Tuesday and another on Saturday.
On Saturday, hundreds of protesters also gathered nearby outside the Walmart store on Story Road to protest the company’s decision to roll back diversity, equity and inclusion programs. Several hundred community members throughout the last several protests began their demonstrations on San Jose’s east side, which is largely made up of people from immigrant communities.
