Brandon Pride is hosting a vigil tonight to honour the people killed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers.
The organization is inviting people to Knox United Church at 451 18th St. for the 7:30 p.m. event.
“If you are feeling upset and angry about the violence you see happening in the (United) States, come out to this event,” the group said in a news release Monday. “Change does not come from social media posts, it happens when people come together and work towards shared causes.”
The event serves as an opportunity for people “to come together and talk about the values we hold as a community,” the release said.
“Let’s talk about building the kind of community that we want to live in, one where everyone feels safe, welcomed, and loved.”
The vigil comes after several people have died in shootings and in custody of ICE agents since U.S. President Donald Trump took office in January 2025 and has cracked down on immigration. Last month, ICE agents shot and killed two people in separate incidents in Minneapolis. The deaths have sparked protests across the U.S.
