Thousands march in Manhattan to protest ICE killing and denounce Trump

Thousands of demonstrators gathered near Central Park and marched through Manhattan on Sunday to protest the Trump administration and the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Minneapolis, according to the report. The crowd assembled at the southeast corner of Central Park with signs condemning President Trump’s mass deportation efforts and his recent military actions in Venezuela.

Local politicians joined the rally; City Council member Alexa Avilés said, “It’s a damn shame we’re out here in 2026 fighting against a fascist government,” while Brad Lander and public advocate Jumaane Williams stood nearby. Protesters marched south on Fifth Avenue to Trump Tower, where demonstrators blocked traffic and chanted, “Hey, hey, ho, ho, Donald Trump has got to go!” One marcher, Carla Shotwell, stood in front of the building holding a sign reading “Deport Kristi Noem Back to Hell,” a reference to the homeland security secretary, who has defended the ICE agent who shot Ms.

Good. President Trump and other federal officials have said the agent was acting in self-defense; Minnesota officials have rejected that account, calling it “propaganda.” A New York Times video analysis said the car appeared to be turning away from the agent when he opened fire. The demonstration followed similar mobilizations across the country, including a smaller protest on Thursday at Foley Square; the Sunday march dispersed around 4 p.m.
