Grey's Anatomy Pauses Production for Anti-ICE Protests
Grey's Anatomy, a popular TV show, stopped filming for a day because many workers wanted to join protests against ICE, the immigration enforcement agency.
Student groups from the University of Minnesota organized these protests, which are happening all over the country.
They want people to skip work, school, and shopping to show their support.
Even a museum in Los Angeles closed for the day because of these protests.
The show plans to start filming again the next day.
Other places, like the Museum of Contemporary Art, also closed to support the protests.

The Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles also closed on January 30.
Production is expected to resume on January 31.
