"The slogan is also a reference to Renee Nicole Good, the 37-year-old mother of three, who was shot dead in her car by an ICE agent on Wednesday. Thousands braved frigid weather and streamed towards a snow-covered park to mobilise near the scene of the shooting. They carried signs demanding ICE OUT of Minnesota. At the start of the protest, a voice called out, Say her name! The crowd shouted back: Renee Good! Her death has evoked strong emotions across the nation."
"In Philadelphia (Pennsylvania), protesters marched in the rain from City Hall to the ICE field office. Others mobilised in New York, Washington, DC and Boston (Massachusetts), with the gatherings drawing dozens to hundreds of demonstrators. More protests were planned for Sunday. The calls to protest were being amplified by the No Kings movement, a network of left-wing organisations that mounted nationwide demonstrations against Trump last year."
An ICE agent fatally shot Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, in her car, prompting nationwide protests and anger at aggressive immigration enforcement. Organisers planned over 1,000 events under the slogan ICE, Out for Good, which also referenced Good's name. Thousands protested in Minneapolis near the shooting scene despite frigid weather, with additional demonstrations in Philadelphia, New York, Washington, DC and Boston and more planned. The No Kings movement helped amplify calls. The Trump administration described Good as a domestic terrorist and defended the agent's claim of self-defence, while local officials and observers dispute that narrative, citing footage that appears to show her vehicle turning away. Officials and residents in Minnesota expressed concern.
