Tom Morello and Rise Against announce an anti-ICE benefit concert for Minneapolis

What’s going on in the US–specifically in Minneapolis–is exactly what Rage Against the Machine trained everyone for. Tom Morello and Rise Against are both appalled at the actions of ICE, DHS, and the entire Trump administration and are speaking up.

They will collaborate on a one-off benefit concert in Minneapolis to raise money for families most affected by Trump’s secret police raids and killings. The gig is set for tomorrow (January 30) at the famous First Venue club. All proceeds will go to the families of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, both of whom were killed by ICE agents.

Question: Will ICE goons be milling around?
