Eleven individuals were taken into custody following a planned, nonviolent protest at a business park in Williston. The demonstration targeted a facility linked to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Participants gathered to voice strong opposition to the agency's practices. In a solemn act of dissent, protesters read aloud the names and personal accounts of individuals who have died either during encounters with ICE or while detained in its custody. The central demand of the action was directed at the property's landlord, urging the immediate cancellation of the facility's lease and severing the business park's ties with the federal agency.

The protest resulted in a significant police presence and the subsequent arrest of eleven demonstrators. The event highlights ongoing national tensions and local activism surrounding immigration enforcement policies. Organizers stated the action was intended to bring visibility to the human consequences of detention and to apply economic pressure by targeting the property agreement.
