Second night of US protests over ICE shooting of woman in Minneapolis
Second night of US protests over ICE shooting of woman in Minneapolis
People took to the streets of Minneapolis and other US cities for a second night to protest against the killing of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, who was shot in her car by a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent.
Demonstrators marched in Houston, Cincinnati, Washington DC, Philadelphia and other cities, some with placards calling for the abolition of ICE.
People laid floral tributes where Good's car crashed after the shooting, just blocks away from the place where George Floyd was killed in 2020, sparking weeks of national protests.
Meanwhile, two people were injured in another shooting involving federal agents, this time border patrol in Portland, Oregon, on Thursday afternoon.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said the Portland incident happened during a traffic stop of a Venezuelan gang member, who "attempted to run over" agents with his car.
The Democratic mayor of Portland cast doubt on their account and people gathered on Thursday night at the city's ICE facility to protest. There were six arrests.
ICE is taking the lead in carrying out the Trump administration's mass deportation initiative, which was a central promise of Donald Trump's election campaign.
Officials have offered differing accounts of the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good in Minnesota, with the Trump administration claiming the ICE agent was acting in self defence, while local officials say the woman posed no danger.
The US Federal Bureau of Investigation said it would investigate the incident.
A row between Minnesota officials and the federal government over control of the investigation deepened on Thursday.
Minnesota's Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) said the FBI had initially agreed to a joint investigation with state officials, but then reversed course and denied the state access to materials and evidence.
Without the ability to access all the necessary case materials and evidence, the BCA has "reluctantly withdrawn" from the investigation, the BCA's superintendent Drew Evans said in a statement.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz accused the Trump administration of blocking state officials from involvement in the case, but US Vice-President JD Vance said the investigation is a federal issue.
Videos of the incident show ICE agents approaching a car which is in the middle of the street, and telling the woman behind the wheel to get out of the SUV. One of the agents tugs at the driver's side door handle.
As the vehicle attempts to drive off, one of the agents at the front of the car points their gun at the driver and several shots are heard.
The car then continues to drive away from the officer and crashes into the side of the street.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has claimed the ICE agent shot Good multiple times because she was trying to run over the officer in her car.
But Democratic Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey called that version of events a false narrative, saying it was clear to him she was trying to leave the scene, not attack an agent.
He said the Trump administration will use chaos as an opportunity to "occupy" the city and the New York Times reports that 100 more federal agents are being deployed.
Governor Walz has activated the state's National Guard to help with security of the protests.
At the scene of the crash on Thursday, blood from the shooting could still be seen in the snow. People set up a vigil at the site to honour Good, lining the bank with candles and roses.
Hundreds of demonstrators showed up throughout the day, shouting insults at ICE and offering their neighbours coffee on the cold winter day.
Susie Hawyard, a minister, said she went to the scene of the shooting as soon as she heard the news to verify "with my own eyes" what happened.
I was horrified," she said. "I saw the car, I saw Renee's car, I saw Renee's blood.
Protesters also gathered at a federal building in Minneapolis early on Thursday morning, where they were met with armed officers. The protests remained largely peaceful there, as residents expressed their anger over the killing of Good.
"They cannot get away with killing someone. There has to be consequences for actions," said Gavin, one of dozens of people outside the federal building.
Those who knew Good said she was a poet and guitarist who had just moved to the city of Minneapolis.
Her mother, Donna Ganger, told the Minnesota Star Tribune that her daughter was "probably terrified" during the confrontation with officers that saw her fatally shot.
She was extremely compassionate," Ganger told the daily newspaper. "She's taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.
Even those who did not know Good said they were touched by her death.
"Renee was everything that was good about our community," said Nimco Ahmad, a Somali immigrant who grew up just blocks from the incident.
Ahmad said she and others were gathered to help ensure justice would be secured for Good.
The exclusion of state authorities from the probe into Good's killing is likely to undermine public trust, said Edward Maguire, a criminology professor at Arizona State University.
"From a criminological perspective, jurisdictional claims in cases like this are often less about legal requirements and more about political efforts to control the investigation and shape its outcome," he said.
But the state could still file criminal charges later against the federal officer who killed Good, said Bryna Godar, a staff attorney with the State Democracy Research Initiative at the University of Wisconsin Law School.
