Thousands marched in Minneapolis Saturday to protest ICE. Demonstrations followed the death of Renee Nicole Good, shot by an ICE agent Wednesday. Dozens were arrested during the weekend.
The "ICE out of Minnesota" rally began in Powderhorn Park. Police estimated tens of thousands attended. Protests also occurred in Austin, Seattle, New York, and Los Angeles. City officials reported 30 arrests. One officer sustained minor injuries from thrown ice.
The Trump administration claims the agent acted in self-defense. Local officials dispute this, stating Good posed no threat. The shooting and subsequent protests highlight ongoing tensions surrounding immigration enforcement.
Anti-ICE protests have increased nationwide. This follows growing scrutiny of ICE practices. The debate involves legal, ethical, and societal implications.
More protests are expected across major US cities Sunday. Investigations into the shooting are ongoing. The events will likely fuel further discussion on immigration policy.
