Thousands of people marched in cities across the United States this weekend in a broad wave of protests against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement following the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis earlier in the week. Demonstrations under the banner “ICE Out for Good” drew crowds from San Francisco and Chicago to Tampa Bay and Las Vegas, with participants demanding accountability for Good’s death and calling for sweeping reforms to federal immigration enforcement practices.

In Minneapolis, where the incident occurred, large gatherings of protesters converged near Powderhorn Park and other sites tied to the city’s recent history of police violence, with some clashes reported between demonstrators and heavily armed federal agents. Organizers and grassroots groups said the weekend of action was coordinated in hundreds of communities, aiming to maintain pressure on ICE and federal officials.
Rallies ranged in tone and size, from peaceful marches in Richmond and Tampa Bay to energetic demonstrations in major urban centers. In many places, participants carried signs reading “ICE = Murder” and “Justice for Renee,” while speakers highlighted concerns about broader patterns of violence by immigration enforcement agents.
In LA, protests sprang up from downtown to the beach, with thousands holding home-made signs.

Homeland Security leaders and the Trump administration have defended the ICE officer’s actions as self-defense, a stance that has further fueled public anger and calls for an independent investigation. Despite these official statements, organizers said the protests this weekend reflect deep and growing unease with federal immigration policy and law enforcement accountability.
