Demonstrators took to cities including Salt Lake City and LA to voice outrage over ICE’s fatal shooting of Renee Good
Thousands of people took to the streets across the US this weekend to express their outrage over the fatal shooting of a Minneapolis woman by an immigration officer, even as the head of homeland security, Kristi Noem, pledged on Sunday to send “hundreds more” federal agents to the city.
Demonstrators in Minneapolis marched toward the residential street where Renee Good, a 37-year-old American citizen and mother of three, was fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer on Wednesday while driving away in her car.
Officials said 30 people had already been arrested during Saturday’s protests, and that one police officer was injured after a “chunk of ice was thrown”. The mayor, Jacob Frey, said the “vast majority of community members have demonstrated peacefully”.
The turnout for the Minneapolis protest, amid strong, frigid winds, highlighted the widespread fury sparked by the killing of Good, as well as other recent ICE shootings, including in Portland, Oregon, that have left three other people injured this week.
