Dozens of demonstrators were arrested outside a federal building in Minneapolis during a protest marking the one-month anniversary of Renee Good’s death involving an ICE agent.
Minneapolis Protesters Arrested at ICE Rally on One-Month Anniversary of Renee Good’s Death
On Saturday, law enforcement declared an unlawful assembly outside the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building in Minneapolis, leading to dozens of arrests after clashes during a protest marking the one-month anniversary of the death of Renee Nicole Good.
Officials said more than 40 demonstrators were taken into custody as tensions escalated when some participants threw ice and other objects at law enforcement officers and damaged property during the gathering. Authorities ordered the crowd to disperse and cleared the area using riot gear.
The protest marked the anniversary of Good’s fatal shooting by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent on Jan. 7, an incident that sparked widespread demonstrations and national debate over federal immigration enforcement policies. Good, a 37-year-old Minneapolis resident and mother of three, was killed during an immigration enforcement operation that also drew criticism from local officials who disputed the federal account of the shooting.
The anniversary rally brought together anti-ICE demonstrators, while counter-protest activity was also present, including appearances by controversial figures opposed to anti-immigration enforcement messages. Amid the unrest, tranquil calls for justice mixed with clashes involving bottles and ice being thrown at police lines.
Local leaders and business groups expressed concern about the ongoing protests, with some urging calm and de-escalation. Minnesota-based CEOs from major companies released a joint statement calling for peace and community dialogue in the aftermath of repeated demonstrations and two fatal encounters involving federal agents.
The protests come as part of broader demonstrations against federal immigration tactics, drawing attention from across the country and contributing to national conversations about enforcement practices and public safety.
