Protesters in the United States are calling for a nationwide strike against President Donald Trump's immigration policies, with some schools and businesses already preemptively canceling classes and operations as part of the planned protest. The strike is set to take place on Friday, with participants urged to "no work, no school, no shopping" in an effort to draw attention to their cause.
The protests are centered around the Trump administration's efforts to crack down on immigration, particularly targeting undocumented immigrants and asylum seekers. Critics argue that the policies amount to a crackdown on vulnerable communities, while supporters claim they will help to enforce national security and curb illegal border crossings.
Organizers of the strike have been using social media platforms to mobilize support for the event, with many calling for increased awareness about the impact of Trump's immigration policies. Some schools in states like Arizona and Colorado have already preemptively canceled classes as part of the planned protest.
While the strike is largely peaceful so far, there are concerns that tensions could rise if enforcement officials attempt to interfere with the demonstrations. Participants will be warned not to engage with law enforcement officers or pose a threat to public safety during the planned protests.
The nationwide strike is seen as an opportunity for protesters to voice their opposition to Trump's immigration policies, and is part of a growing wave of activism against his administration.

. Like, what's the point of canceling schools and businesses? Are they really expecting everyone just to stop doing their jobs? And what about all those people who rely on these services for income? It's gonna be a disaster, mark my words 
. I mean, I get that they're trying to draw attention to their cause, but can't they do it in a more constructive way? Like, organize some rallies or something? This whole "no work, no school, no shopping" thing just seems like a recipe for chaos 
. And have you seen the state of our economy right now? We don't need a nationwide strike on top of all this instability... just saying 
I think its kinda crazy that ppl are gonna just stop working/school shopping like thats gonna make a diffrence 
I mean, whats the point of all this unrest if u cant even have a calm convo about it? 
I guess its good that ppl are speakin out tho 
and making their voices heard 
like everyone's jumping on board to protest against trump's immigration policies 
it's crazy how one admin can cause such chaos in the country. i'm all for people standing up for what they believe in, but at the same time i feel bad for those who are gonna lose their jobs or be affected by the strike. schools and businesses are already canceling classes and ops as if ppl dont have anything better to do 
idk how it's all gonna play out but one thing's for sure - this is a major wake-up call for trump's admin to reevaluate their policies 
and what about the border control issue? i mean some ppl need to show up for jobs and pay bills lol 
gotta think about that before making a decision 
. Maybe this will be a wake-up call for everyone involved? Schools and businesses canceling classes and ops is kinda extreme, though... can't we just talk about this stuff instead of taking drastic measures? 
. Just hope everything gets resolved peacefully 
.
I get it though, the whole "no work, no school" thing might seem extreme but honestly, if people are that passionate about it, maybe they should just take a day off and make some noise? 
It's not like the US economy is gonna collapse or anything. On a more serious note tho, I do think these protests are necessary... immigration policies can be super harsh and affect so many lives. We need to make sure our voices are heard & that the gov't listens 
its already causing a lot of disruption in schools & businesses but im all for standin up 4 what u believe... the thing is, i feel like there should be more dialogue between lawmakers & ppl who are affected by these policies
