Thousands flood Minneapolis streets in massive protest over Renee Nicole Good's killing by ICE agent.
The crowd was boisterous, chanting slogans like "Abolish ICE" and "No justice, no peace – get ICE off our streets". Thousands of people gathered to demand justice for Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother of three who was shot dead by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Minneapolis just days ago. The incident has reignited outrage over the Trump administration's anti-immigration push.
Video footage from the scene appears to contradict officials' statements that Good "weaponised" her vehicle and threatened the life of the ICE officer who shot her. The killing comes as the US Department of Homeland Security pushes ahead with its largest-ever immigration enforcement operation in the Twin Cities.
Organisers say the rallies aim to "mourn the lives taken and shattered by ICE and to demand justice and accountability". Migrant rights groups have called for an end to deadly terror on our streets, while local authorities have urged demonstrators to remain peaceful.
Tensions rose when a coalition of migrant rights groups held a demonstration at Powderhorn Park, with organisers saying it was a call to action. Meanwhile, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said that 29 people had been arrested overnight as police responded to continued protests.
In a statement, Leah Greenberg, Indivisible's co-executive director, stated that ICE's violence "has names, families, and futures attached to it, and we refuse to look away or stay silent". Hundreds of demonstrations were scheduled in Texas, Kansas, New Mexico, Ohio, Florida and other US states.
The protesters are calling for an end to the militarised anti-immigration push by President Donald Trump. The incident has renewed scrutiny over the Trump administration's tactics, with local authorities demanding that ICE agents leave their cities.

, I'm so worried about Renee Nicole Good 
... she was just a mom of three kids and she got killed by an ICE agent! 
It doesn't make sense at all. And now there are thousands of people protesting in Minneapolis, it's like the whole city is out 
. I think it's really unfair that these people are being targeted and hurt by ICE 
. The video footage showing how she was actually shot because she wasn't a threat is so crazy 
. I just want justice for her and her family 
... we need to make sure that this kind of thing never happens again 
this is just devastating, thousands of people flooding the streets in Minneapolis, it's like a tidal wave of anger and sadness... Renee Nicole Good was just 37 and had three little kids, can you even imagine? 
. I think what really gets me is how this incident has reignited outrage over ICE's anti-immigration push... like, can we just focus on finding solutions rather than perpetuating fear and division? We need to start having real conversations about immigration reform and how we can create a system that works for everyone 
. The fact that people are taking to the streets to demand justice is a reminder that we're not powerless as a society... but it also shows us that there's still so much work to be done 
She was just a mom of three and now she's gone... it's not fair at all! I know some people might think that Renee had done something wrong, but from the vids, it looks like ICE agent was totally out of line 
. We can't let this kind of thing happen again in our country. Everyone deserves to feel safe no matter what they look like or where they're from 
. I'm definitely going to be speaking up about this at school - we need to make sure everyone knows that violence isn't the answer! 
this is a mess we're in people are literally taking to the streets and losing it 
and now we gotta deal with the fallout from all these protests 
it's gonna be a long night
.
. and can we talk about how the US is still pretending like this isn't a systemic issue? it's time to take responsibility for our government's actions and actually do something about it 
. The whole thing just doesn't add up, you know? Video footage shows she wasn't even armed, but officials are saying she was threatening someone... it's like they're trying to spin this one 
.
thousands of people flooding Minneapolis streets for Renee Nicole Good?? 
I feel bad for her fam tho 
29 ppl arrested overnight?? 
I'm all about migrant rights too 
I mean, protesters need to stay peaceful or else it's just gonna give the gov more ammo 
It's like they expect us to believe that Renee Nicole Good was just waiting around for some poor ICE agent to come along and shoot her? Please 
. The video footage is clearly not what it's supposed to be, but do we really care about the details at this point? No 
what if we were to take a step back and think about what's really going on here? we need to talk about the root causes of this whole thing, not just the symptoms 
We need to talk about the lack of trust between law enforcement and immigrant communities 
. It's crazy to see all the different states coming together to show their support for Renee Nicole Good and for an end to this kind of violence 
.
.
this is so sad what happened to Renee Nicole Good she was just a mom trying to make ends meet and now her life is gone all because of the system
