People took to the streets of Minneapolis and other US cities for a second night to protest against the killing of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, who was shot in her car by a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent. Demonstrators marched in Houston, Cincinnati, Washington DC, Philadelphia, and other cities, some with placards calling for the abolition of ICE.
At the site where Good's car crashed, which is just blocks away from where George Floyd was killed in 2020, mourners laid floral tributes. Meanwhile, another incident occurred in Portland, Oregon, where two people were injured during a shooting involving federal agents, prompting protests at the city's ICE facility.
The Department of Homeland Security stated that the Portland incident was related to a traffic stop of a gang member who attempted to run over agents. However, local officials and a growing number of protesters are questioning the federal response and narrative.
Officials have offered different accounts of the fatal shooting of Good, with some claiming self-defense while local authorities insist that she posed no threat. The FBI has launched an investigation, but tensions have escalated regarding the jurisdiction over the case, with Minnesota officials alleging obstruction by the federal government.
As tensions unfold, the governor has activated the National Guard for added security amid fears of further violence. Good’s death has sparked anger and shocked the community, with friends and family describing her as compassionate and an integral part of their lives. Demonstrations continue to call for accountability in a national dialogue about policing, immigration, and civil rights.
