I can’t go to the grocery store alone right now because ICE is racially profiling and abducting people who aren’t white

I’ve seen human rights observer used lately and that’s way more accurate than “protestor.” They framed it as some sort of trad protest interaction or confrontation here too in Chicago and that’s not correct.
