Detroit Day of the Dead ofrenda honors those who died in ICE custody

For the Mexican holiday of Day of the Dead, or Día de Muertos, it's customary to create an ofrenda — an altar in honor of those who have died. A group of Detroit-based activists has created an eye-catching one near the U.S.-Canadian border.
The ofrenda is set up blocks from the Ambassador Bridge, so ICE agents drive by it. Above it is a banner that reads "Free Them All."

Talk about cultural appropriation. Nobody in Mexico exploits the Day of the Dead for political purposes...
