“I’m sad, but I’m mostly furious,” Noah, an organizer at Twin Cities Coalition for Justice and speaker at the Minneapolis demonstration, said. “I want to extend my deepest condolences and my heart to the family of Renee Good, they lost someone who truly cared and somebody who deserved to live a long and full life and ICE took that today. Shame!”

Earlier that day, the Department of Homeland Security said that an ICE agent had fatally shot a woman, who has been identified as 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, as the Trump administration has surged hundreds of federal officers into the state of Minnesota. DHS has claimed that the shots were fired in self-defense as Good allegedly tried to run an agent over during an ICE operation, a narrative that Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey dismissed as “bullshit.”
As HuffPost’s Ryan Grenoble reported, video of the incident from bystanders appears to undercut DHS’s claim and shows the woman reversing, turning her vehicle to leave and pulling forward when an agent fires at her. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) said that Good, a U.S. citizen, was a “legal observer” of ICE’s actions.

Videos and images captured growing crowds of people attending the vigil to memorialize Good in the Minneapolis neighborhood where she was killed on Wednesday evening.
Attendees left flowers and candles, while chanting statements including “Say it once. Say it twice. We will not put up with ICE,” according to CNN. And demonstrators also carried posters calling for ICE to leave the state, where agents have been deployed amid Trump’s vocal concerns about alleged fraud and repeated disparagement of Somali people.
Speakers at the Minneapolis gathering also called for people to stand together and to continue working to protect members of the community who’ve been targeted by immigration operations.

Protesters rallied in several other places including Manhattan’s Foley Square and Chicago’s Little Village Arch in demonstrations also denouncing the ICE shooting.
In New York, attendees held signs featuring statements slamming ICE as “Trump’s Gestapo” and asking agents, “How Can You Sleep At Night.” And in Chicago, community activists spoke about the need to express their solidarity with the Twin Cities and called for accountability in the shooting, according to CBS News.
