This weekend, hundreds of rallies are set to erupt across the United States to protest the actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after the fatal shooting of Renee Good, a 37-year-old motorist, in Minneapolis this Wednesday. Under the rallying cry 'ICE, Out for Good,' activists are demanding accountability and calling for the agency's dismantling. ✊
Organizers say more than 1,000 events will take place — from Washington, D.C., to Los Angeles — powered by the 'No Kings' network, the same movement that ignited massive demonstrations against President Trump’s immigration policies. The slogan cleverly nods both to ICE and to Renee Good, whose last name has become a rallying point for justice. 🙌
The administration labeled Good a 'domestic terrorist,' arguing the ICE agent acted in self-defense. Yet local officials and protest leaders strongly dispute this narrative, pointing to footage that shows Good’s vehicle veering away from the agent before she tried to drive off, suggesting she posed no threat. 🎥🚗
According to bystander video captured on an agent’s phone, the officer approached Good’s car and, without warning, fired a shot that killed her as the vehicle slowly pulled away. The car then sped off and crashed, ending the tragic scene. Now, communities nationwide are channeling grief into action, planning peaceful marches, vigils and teach-ins. 🌎💡
Here’s a snapshot of major gatherings:
- Washington, D.C.
- Minneapolis
- Los Angeles
- Philadelphia
- …and hundreds more near you!
Whether you’re a student, activist or concerned neighbor, now’s the time to raise your voice. Will this weekend of action be the turning point in the fight against ICE’s power? Let’s find out. 🗣️🔥
