In Photos: One Week Since the Shooting of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis
It makes a week since a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent fatally shot Renee Nicole Good, a resident of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Since then, the city has been in tumult.
Thousands of protesters – from young students to elderly residents – took to the streets, setting up memorials for good and confronting ICE agents. Dozens of people were arrested.
More than 2,000 ICE agents have been deployed to Minneapolis, with another 1,000 on the way. Local leaders have denounced ICE’s continued aggressive tactics. “It feels like our community is under siege by our own federal government,” Minnesota state Rep. Michael Howard told the New York Times.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem continued to assert that Jonathan Ross, the agent who allegedly shot Good, acted in self-defense. Noem has repeatedly called Good a “domestic terrorist.”
Videos of the situation in Minneapolis, however, show a different reality, where Good appears to walk away from the scene when Ross fires several shots through his windshield. In a video purportedly filmed on Ross’ cellphone and shared by several members of the Trump administration, including Vice President JD Vance, a male voice can be heard saying “fucking bitch” immediately after the shooting.
The state of Minnesota, along with Minneapolis and St. Paul, has now sued the U.S. government in an effort to stop the influx of ICE agents.
Protests continue across Minnesota – and across the country – on crowded city streets and in small towns, as residents don winter coats and stage walkouts to demonstrate against their federal government.
