"Saying they were spurred by the shooting of Renee Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Minneapolis, an Alameda County Board of Supervisors committee has passed two proposals to establish a Bay Area regional response in the event that federal immigration agents launch a new operation locally. We have to move very quickly, Alameda County District 5 Supervisor Nikki Fortunato Bas told Bay Area News Group before the Board of Supervisors meeting on Thursday before the Together For All Committee vote."
"During a surge of immigration enforcement in Minneapolis, ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot Minneapolis resident Renee Good in the head while she was driving away. Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, was posthumously labeled as a domestic terrorist by Vice President JD Vance and Department of Homeland Security Sec. Kristi Noem, whose defense of Ross' actions ignited furor among Minnesota residents who have taken to the streets in protest."
"The incident evoked memories of last October when Border Patrol agents launched an operation in the Bay Area that led to a protest at the entrance to Coast Guard Island. During the standoff, a U-Haul truck driven by Bella Thompson reversed and accelerated toward officers. Thompson was shot by federal officers before she could strike them and was charged with one count of assault of a federal officer."
An Alameda County Board committee passed two proposals to create a Bay Area regional response to potential federal immigration operations, prompted by the Minneapolis shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent. The proposals seek a coordinated regional approach modeled on Santa Clara County, with public outreach plans and staff trainings to protect residents. The Minneapolis incident involved ICE agent Jonathan Ross fatally shooting Renee Good, who was later labeled a domestic terrorist by national officials, sparking protests. Local context includes an October Border Patrol operation in the Bay Area and a U-Haul standoff that resulted in the shooting of Bella Thompson.
