"Anger and dismay over the deployment of federal immigration agents on the streets of a major US city have once again triggered protests. This week's killing of Renee Good at the hands of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is expected to spawn hundreds of demonstrations nationwide. This weekend's events are taking place under the motto, "ICE, Out for Good," referencing the deployment of federal agents on US streets; and Good, the woman fatally shot by one of those ICE agents this week."
"The Trump administration has argued that the officer who killed Good acted in self-defense despite evidence that he failed to follow agency safety guidelines. Indivisible, a social justice organization formed to resist the Trump administration, said hundreds of protests were scheduled in Texas, Kansas, New Mexico, Ohio, Florida and other states. Representatives said weekend rallies and marches would celebrate Renee Good's life and call for an "end to deadly terror on our streets.""
