Tens of thousands of people took to the streets of Minneapolis in the US state of Minnesota on Friday, as public fury boiled over in freezing temperatures amid US president Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.

Braving temperatures as low as –25C, protesters marched through downtown as unions, church leaders, and local politicians backed calls for a general strike while nearby businesses shut their doors in solidarity.
