An anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) demonstration in Goodyear, Arizona drew attention this week after a passing motorist slow-rolled past the protest while playing 'ICE ICE Baby' by Vanilla Ice at high volume. The demonstration took place near the intersection of Litchfield Road and Indian School Road, where protesters gathered along the sidewalk holding signs opposing federal immigration enforcement.

Why it matters
