"More than 60 largely peaceful protests took place this weekend against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement actions, including several in Southern California. But while many protests were without incident, they were not short on anger and moments of tension. Organizers called the gatherings the "ICE Out for Good" weekend of action in response to the fatal shooting of Renée Nicole Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Minneapolis."
"In Huntington Beach, Ron Duplantis, 72, carried a diagram to represent the three shots fired at Good, including one through her windshield and two others that appeared to go through her side window. "Those last two shots," he said, "make it clear to me that this is murder." Huntington Beach has seen past clashes between Trump supporters and anti-racism activists, but as of mid-afternoon, Sunday's protest was tense at times, but free of violence."
More than 60 largely peaceful protests occurred statewide against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, including demonstrations in Southern California. Organizers labeled the actions the "ICE Out for Good" weekend in response to the fatal shooting of Renée Nicole Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. In Huntington Beach, about 300 demonstrators gathered outside City Hall while roughly two dozen counterprotesters showed support for ICE and President Trump. Protesters carried anti-ICE signs, rang cowbells and chanted, and many passing motorists honked or voiced opposing views. Trump officials said the ICE agent acted in self-defense, while Democrats and others cited videos that contradict that account.
