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.
