The medical drama is expected to go dark on Friday, January 30, with production scheduled to restart the following day.<\/p>\n As per the publication\u2019s source, the one-day pause was prompted after the show\u2019s production team learned that significant number of crew members would not be reporting to work during the planned protests. As of now, there has been no confirmation that additional film or television productions will suspend work.<\/p>\n The planned demonstrations started from calls for a \u201cnational shutdown\u201d issued by student organizations at the University of Minnesota. These include the Somali Student Association, Black Student Union and Graduate Labor Union.<\/p>\n The organizers\u2019 website wrote<\/a>, \u201cThe people of the Twin Cities have shown the way for the whole country \u2013 to stop ICE\u2019s reign of terror, we need to SHUT IT DOWN. On Friday, January 30, join a nationwide day of no school, no work and no shopping. Vote NO to ICE funding.\u201d The movement follows the fatal shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis.
