Hundreds in Michigan protest against ICE


Listen Later

Hundreds of people across Michigan protested against Immigration and Customs Enforcement over the weekend after an ICE agent shot a woman to death in Minnesota last week. 

Joshua Medina joined demonstrators at Detroit's Clark Park on Friday night. He says Americans need to fight back against the Trump administration's immigration crackdown. 

"Force only understands force, right? And by no means I mean that in a violent way, but I mean that in a show of people power, right?"

There were protests across the nation over the weekend.

Auto Show

Detroit's car companies are gearing up for the city's annual Auto Show this week. 

Executive Director Sam Klemet says the event features immersive hands-on displays promoting both vehicle technology and the Motor City itself. 

"It's a chance for everyone to come under one roof and see kind of what the auto industry is about...where it's going...and what the city of Detroit is about. I mean you'll see a lot of that as well. So I think that this is evolving into a content show." 

Klemet adds that the event also celebrates those who love Michigan's outdoor areas by showcasing vehicles and equipment designed for rugged terrain. 

The auto show opens to the public on Jan. 17.
