Anti-ICE demonstrations spread after fatal shooting of Minneapolis woman

Time reports protesters took to the streets of Minneapolis, Portland and other cities on Saturday as more than 1,000 anti-ICE demonstrations were planned across the United States following the killing of Minneapolis woman Renee Nicole Good by an immigration agent. Demonstrations and vigils began in Minneapolis almost immediately after Good’s shooting and continued for multiple days outside the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building, which has acted as a headquarters for immigration agents conducting an "enforcement surge" in the city.

At least 30 people were arrested on Friday evening at protests outside a Minneapolis hotel where demonstrators believed ICE agents were staying. Organizers of the ICE Out For Good rallies said the shootings showed an "alarming pattern of unchecked violence and abuse by federal immigration enforcement agencies," and partner organizations include the ACLU.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said the "vast majority" of protests were peaceful, and Minnesota Reps. Ilhan Omar, Angie Craig and Kelly Morrison said ICE obstructed members of Congress after they were told to leave a facility after just 10 minutes; Craig said, "They do not care that they are violating federal law."
