Cleveland’s Anti-ICE Rally and Community Events on January 30, 2026
Cleveland, OH — January 30, 2026 — Clevelanders gather for an anti-ICE rally at Public Square and enjoy local events like the 80’s dance party at B Side Lounge.
Anti-ICE Rally at Public Square
Today at 2 p.m., Cleveland will join a nationwide movement against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) with a major rally at Public Square. This demonstration is part of a broader protest against the continued presence of ICE in Minneapolis, particularly following the recent deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, which activists link to ICE agents. Local faith leaders and activists are encouraging residents to refrain from work and shopping today in an act of solidarity. City Councilman Tanmay Shah, an immigrant from India, emphasized the rally’s message of reclaiming public spaces and resisting federal pressure. Rabbi Miriam Geronimus also spoke out against ICE’s actions, highlighting community concerns over safety. Despite a planned troop withdrawal in Minneapolis, Cleveland activists stress that the fight is far from over, viewing the rally as part of a continuous movement to build collective resistance.
80’s Dance Party at B Side Lounge
For those looking to enjoy some local entertainment, the B Side Lounge is hosting an 80’s dance party tonight from 6 to 9 p.m. Attendees can dance to classic hits from the 1980s, with music spanning from Madonna to Michael Jackson. The event encourages guests to dress in their best 80’s attire, including neon colors and denim-on-denim. Tickets are available for purchase, and the event promises a nostalgic trip back in time.
Fishing Report from Cleveland Metroparks
Anglers interested in ice fishing can take advantage of the recent stocking of 3,000 pounds of mixed trout across five Cleveland Metroparks lakes. The stocked lakes include Wallace, Shadow, Ledge, Ranger, and Judge’s lakes. While the Rocky River and other local streams are largely frozen over, the Cuyahoga River remains a viable option for those experienced in ice fishing. The Cleveland Metroparks advises anglers to prioritize safety, ensuring that ice thickness is at least 4 inches before venturing out. For those new to ice fishing, it’s recommended to fish with a friend, inform someone of your whereabouts, and focus on areas where other anglers have already been fishing.
