Rabat – Tens of thousands of Americans took to the streets on Saturday to protest the fatal shooting of Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother, by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Minneapolis.
Demonstrators plan more rallies this weekend under the banner “ICE, Out for Good,” expressing opposition to the Trump administration’s mass deportation campaign.
In Minneapolis, protesters faced freezing temperatures to gather near a park close to the scene of the shooting. They held signs demanding “ICE OUT” and repeatedly called out Good’s name, turning the tragedy into a public outcry against federal enforcement practices.
Organizers reported plans for over 1,000 events nationwide. The slogan, “ICE, Out for Good,” referred both to the agency and to Good herself, whose death has stirred anger far beyond Minnesota.
Protests took place in other cities as well. In Philadelphia, participants marched from City Hall to the local ICE office under rain.
Smaller gatherings formed in New York, Washington, and Boston. Activists with the “No Kings” network, which organized nationwide anti-Trump protests last year, helped amplify the calls to action.
The Trump administration described Good as a “domestic terrorist” and insisted the agent acted in self-defense.
Local authorities dispute this narrative. They say video footage shows Good’s car moving away from the agent and not posing an immediate threat.
Police cam footage reportedly shows the officer circling Good’s vehicle, as she attempts to leave and tells him, “I’m not mad at you.” Shots then rang out, and the officer can be heard using profanity.
The White House claims the clip supports self-defense, although it does not clearly show the car moving or the moment the shots fired.
Protesters voiced deep frustration over ICE tactics and what they see as federal overreach.
On Friday, hundreds gathered outside Minneapolis hotels thought to house ICE agents. They brought whistles, loudspeakers, and instruments. Police detained several protesters but released them shortly afterward.
Local officials and residents worry that Minnesota law enforcement remains excluded from the federal investigation into Good’s death.
According to The Trace, a media outlet covering gun violence, Good is the fourth person killed, among seven others injured by federal immigration agents since the Trump administration began its crackdown deportation campaign.
In Portland, Oregon, two people suffered gunshot injuries from federal border police during a traffic stop this week.
