Escalation: ICE killing of Renee Good galvanizes Minneapolis protests

Crowds filled Minneapolis streets after Renee Good’s killing, with hundreds marching in freezing rain down a major thoroughfare chanting “ICE out now” and carrying “killer ICE off our streets” signs. Earlier, demonstrators gathered outside a federal facility used for the immigration crackdown, where Border Patrol officers pushed the crowd back with pepper spray and tear gas.

A community rally was set for 2:30 p.m. at 34th Street and Portland Avenue. The Minneapolis school district offered families a month of remote learning amid the enforcement surge, and John Mulaney postponed three shows at the Armory, saying he did not feel safe asking thousands to travel to the venue.

Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty opened a public portal to collect videos of the shooting and said her office has jurisdiction to decide the case. State investigators were told the FBI and Justice Department would not work with them, and Homeland Security has said the state has no jurisdiction. Minnesota’s U.S. senators pressed federal authorities to fully cooperate with local investigators.
