Minneapolis ICE shooting live updates: Protests erupt across the country after Renee Good’s death as new footage of shooting released
Protests have erupted across the country after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent, identified as Jonathan Ross, fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good.
Demonstrators in Minneapolis and other cities across the U.S., including Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Raleigh and Washington, D.C., have turned out this weekend for nonviolent protests, being called “ICE Out For Good.” Photos showed demonstrators holding signs demanding ICE leave their cities or remembering Good’s legacy.
Large anti-ICE protests have been ongoing in Minneapolis, drawing hundreds of local and state law enforcement officers. A large crowd formed Saturday in the city’s Powderhorn Park, where protesters have chanted Good’s name and waved signs with slogans like “ICE will melt,” according to CNN.
While the Minneapolis protests have been largely peaceful, at least 29 individuals were arrested Friday evening after a hotel was vandalized.
Several activist groups have helped organize the protests, which call for the government to reduce ICE presence in cities and demand accountability.
Meanwhile, the Department of Homeland Security has released a new video showing the minutes that led up to the fatal shooting in Minneapolis. In a post on X, the agency asserted Good was “STALKING and IMPEDING a law enforcement operation.”

ICYMI: Minneapolis mayor urges protesters not to ‘take the bait’
Before nationwide anti-ICE protests began Saturday, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey told peaceful protesters not to “take the bait” when a single agitator begins vandalizing property or acting aggressively toward law enforcement.
“We cannot take the bait,” Frey said in a press conference Saturday morning.
He asserted that President Donald Trump wants to see chaos in cities, which would prove his claim that protesters are violent and that there is an increased need for federal law enforcement in cities.
Frey said any person who engages in protest behavior not protected by the Constitution would be held accountable.
