On Jan. 31, Black Lives Matter Huntington Beach organized an anti-ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) protest in front of Huntington Beach (HB) pier. The protest comes as one of the many protests that have occurred across the U.S. as an outraged reaction to the deaths of Nicole Good, Alex Pretti and various acts of violence committed by ICE agents.
