ICE, datacenters, voter suppression: key issues expected to draw thousands in US to protests

Demonstrations planned across the US this weekend will focus on three issues likely to define the midterm elections

Thousands of Americans are expected to take to the streets this weekend in mass protests around issues likely to define the midterm elections: widespread violence from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, voter suppression and datacenter construction.

The protests - some recently planned in response to last week's ICE shootings, others an annual event with new urgency - will take place not just in big cities and progressive towns, but also in rural and red areas.
