Protesters hold up signs and make some noise at the corner of Gurley and Montezuma streets in downtown Prescott. The rally was called quickly to protest the most recent shooting of Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis. A protester wearing a pussy hat flashes two peace signs at drivers driving down Gurley St. in downtown Prescott, Arizona. A woman holds up a large placard with the picture of recently murdered US citizen Alex Pretti and his wife. The placard calls for more funding of healthcare rather than ICE. Protesters line the block of Gurley Street in front of courthouse square. Roughly 400 people showed up in downtown Prescott to protest the recent shootings of US citizens in Minneapolis by ICE agents.

A man in cowboy regalia walks through the protest against recent ICE shooting of citizens in Minneapolis. He was yelling and being confrontational with protestors. Two women extend their middle fingers in a joint “fuck you” to protestors rallying against the recent shootings of citizens in Minneapolis by ICE agents. While four hundred supporters showed up, a couple of people had derision to offer instead. Two women flip off protesters who return the gestures with smiles and peace signs during a rally to protest the shootings of US citizens by ICE agents in Minneapolis. A troublemaker (right) gets in the face of photojournalist Chris Ortiz after Ortiz took photos of the troublemaker trying to egg protesters on.
