The protest started at 12:30 p.m. Friday and was expected to last until 2 p.m.

Protesters were also outside the offices of U.S. Sen. Eric Schmitt and U.S. Rep. Sam Graves in KCMO earlier Friday.

In addition to Friday's protests, a plethora of Kansas City-area businesses closed all day Friday or closed early in solidarity with the General Strike to protest ICE. KSHB 41's Fernanda Silva provided a full breakdown here.
