Clevelanders call to abolish ICE
Clevelanders take the streets in sharp winds to call for the abolition of ICE and their presence in Cleveland.
BY SARAH SELAN
Clevelanders took to the streets and braced below freezing temperatures on Tuesday, Jan. 20th to protest against recent raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) being held across the United States.
The walkout took place at 4pm in Market Square, drawing in a crowd of about 150 people with signs demanding that the U.S. government “stop ICE terror”.
This demonstration, which occurred on the anniversary of President Donald Trump’s 2025 inauguration, was born from solidarity with Minneapolis after legal observer and mother of three, Renee Good, was murdered by federal agent Jonathan Ross on Wednesday, Jan. 7th of this year.
Minneapolis has been undergoing constant protest since the death of Good with local workers unions calling for a general strike beginning Jan. 23rd, 2026. The demands of the strike include the dismissal of ICE from the city along with many promoting the abolishment of ICE in its entirety.
Cleveland’s solidarity march honored Good along with Keith Porter, a father of two who was murdered by ICE on Dec. 31st 2025, through signs and chants calling for justice for the victims and the arrests of their killers.
Tanmay Shah Sworn in to Cleveland City Council
Tanmay Shah Sworn In as Cleveland’s First Indian-Born Councilmember, Pledges Working-Class Advocacy and Bold Reform
BY ROBIAH DARWISH
CLEVELAND — Cleveland City Council’s swearing-in ceremony held on Jan. 5th, 2026, was marked by one of its most anticipated moments as Tanmay Shah, among the youngest members ever elected to the body and the first Indian-born immigrant to serve on Council, formally took the oath of office.
As Shah’s name was called, the chamber buzzed with anticipation. Following his remarks, City Hall erupted into fiery cheers, signaling the arrival of a councilmember whose campaign and politics galvanized working-class Clevelanders across the city.
Representing the newly drawn Ward 12 — spanning Edgewater, West Boulevard, Jefferson, and parts of Cleveland’s Little Arabia — Shah framed his role as rooted in accountability, solidarity, and service. “I stand before you and ask you to hold me accountable,” Shah said. “I will make mistakes, and I hope we can learn together”...
The British Government Has Killed Political Prisoners Before:
Four Pro-Palestine activists in the UK will die on hunger strike if demands are not met.
BY BEN MULLIN-VANNESTE - Posted December 31, 2025
“Today, I join my comrades and begin my hunger strike. I want to make it abundantly clear that this is not about dying, because unlike the enemy I love life.”
Heba Muraisi, on hunger strike since November 3rd, 2025
44 years ago, the British government allowed ten Irish political prisoners to die on hunger strike. Men killed by a government that subjected them to conditions so dire that the only means of resistance left was to deny themselves their basic necessities. Today, the British government, with its silence, indifference, and disregard for Palestinian life, is poised to kill four more political prisoners who have bravely chosen to commence a hunger strike.
The current Hunger Strikers are Heba Muraisi (age 31), Teuta Hoxha (age 29), Kamran Ahmed (age 28), and Lewie Chiarmello (age 22). As of December 30th, Heba, Teuta, and Kamran have refused food for over 52 days, while Lewie continues to fast intermittently due to his diabetic condition. Formally on the hunger strike and since paused, was Qesser Zuhrah (age 20), Amu Gib (age 30), Jon Cink (age 25) and Umer Khalid (age 22).
The Hunger Strikers, along with dozens of other activists, are alleged to be involved in direct action efforts–a form of protest usually involving physical blockage or disruption of a target–against Elbit Systems, an arms manufacturer deeply complicit in the genocide of the Palestinians. They have been denied bail, and subjected to over a year of imprisonment without trial. Their demands are listed below:
End all censorship
Immediate bail
Right to a fair trial
Deproscribe
Shut Elbit down
Visible Voice Books open the doors to their new location in Ohio City!
