US to See Widespread Protests Against ICE Following Minneapolis Woman's Killing
Rallies are planned across the United States on Saturday and Sunday, with over 1,000 events slated under the slogan "ICE Out for Good." The movement is in response to the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Minneapolis. The killing has sparked outrage, particularly among Democrats, who have accused ICE of using excessive force.
Protesters are calling on the agency's actions to be dismantled, citing a lack of trust between local authorities and federal agencies. The "No Kings" movement, which opposed President Donald Trump's deportation policies last year, is amplifying calls for action against ICE.
The Trump administration has attempted to portray Good as a domestic terrorist, with agents claiming self-defense in the shooting. However, footage shows her vehicle turning away from the agent before shots were fired. Local officials and residents have disputed this narrative, citing a lack of transparency in the FBI investigation into the killing.
Newly obtained video of the incident appears to contradict the administration's account, showing ICE officers interacting with Good as she drives away. A phone recording by one of the agents can be heard using derogatory language towards her at the end of the clip.
The shooting has sparked concern about ICE's treatment of immigrants and their interactions with local law enforcement agencies. Residents in Minneapolis have expressed fears that federal agencies are operating outside of local control, hindering a transparent investigation into Good's killing.
This incident is part of a growing trend of violence against civilians by federal immigration agents since the Trump administration launched its deportation policy last year. The latest incident in Portland, Oregon, highlights the risks faced by individuals who encounter ICE officers.
As protests continue across the country, concerns about accountability and transparency within the agency will remain a pressing issue.
