Across the country, people are taking to the streets to honor—and demand justice for—Renee Nicole Good, the 37-year-old US citizen who a federal immigration agent shot and killed in Minneapolis on Wednesday.
Good, according to an interview with her former husband, had just dropped off her 6-year-old son at school and was driving home when she encountered a group of ICE agents conducting an operation.
The following images, spanning from the actual shooting to the protests that followed, show how people have shown up in defiance of President Trump’s ongoing attacks against immigrant communities.
Federal officers have already used violent tactics against protesters at demonstrations, including multiple instances of chemical agents.
In a statement immediately following the shooting, Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin claimed that a “violent rioter” had “weaponized her vehicle” in an “act of domestic terrorism.” President Trump, without evidence, referred to the then-unnamed victim as “a professional agitator” and claimed the killing happened “because the Radical Left is threatening, assaulting, and targeting our Law Enforcement Officers and ICE Agents.”
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has called the federal narrative “bullshit,” and Gov. Tim Walz referred to the response from the Trump administration as “propaganda.” A thorough analysis of bystander videos conducted by The New York Times also disputes the federal depiction of the killing.
In Minneapolis, Good’s neighbors created a vigil to remember her life and call for justice in her death.

Journalist Amanda Moore, who is on the scene for Mother Jones, said, “The scene outside of the Whipple building quickly becoming similar to the first month of Broadview,” referring to the ICE facility in Illinois where federal officers used violence and chemical weapons against protestors.
