Several businesses in the Tucson area announced Thursday morning that they would be closed all day Friday as part of the Ice Out! National Day of Action protest.

According to a news release, the businesses will be closed in support of a nationwide call for "no work, no school and no shopping" following the shooting deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by ICE and CBP in Minneapolis.

KGUN 9 spoke to Yolia Botanica and Spadefoot Nursery about why they will be closed.
