In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive.
In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him.

May Day is not officially acknowledged in the U.S. because of what historians say is an ongoing resistance to unity among the working class. This resistance is prompting protesters to take action on Thursday, regardless.
