In Minneapolis, a coalition of immigrant rights groups called for a demonstration at Powderhorn Park, a large green space about a half-mile from where 37-year-old Renee Good was fatally shot in a residential neighborhood on Wednesday.

They said the rally and march would celebrate Goode’s life and call for “an end to the deadly terror on our streets.”

Protests in the area have so far been peaceful, in stark contrast to the violence that hit Minneapolis in 2020 after the killing of George Floyd.

Some confrontations broke out Thursday and Friday near the airport between a small group of protesters and agents guarding the federal building that serves as the base for the Twin Cities crackdown.

Jacob Frey said Vice President J.D. Vance’s assertion that the ICE agents responsible for Wednesday’s shooting had “absolute immunity” was “pretty bizarre.”

“The precedent is very simple: A federal law enforcement officer is involved in a federal law enforcement operation — that’s a federal matter. He’s protected by absolute immunity. He’s doing his job,” Vance told reporters Thursday.

At a separate meeting on Friday, the Minneapolis mayor said: “This concept of absolute immunity is very strange. It’s very concerning. It’s very concerning.”

“That’s why we’re asking the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension to get involved in the timeline investigation.”

Protests against immigration enforcement are planned for Saturday in cities and towns across the country as outrage continues to mount over the killing of Renee Goode.

Many are referred to as “ICE Out for Good” (short for Immigration and Customs Enforcement).

Last year, Indivisible and its local chapters organized protests in all 50 states.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said ICE was responsible for 50% of shootings in Minneapolis this year.

“So far this year, 50 percent of the shootings in Minneapolis have been attributable to ICE. In other words, we’ve only had two shootings. One of them was attributable to ICE,” he told reporters.

President Donald Trump said Friday that he had not seen Vice President Vance’s recent statement claiming that Renee Nicole Goode was part of a “broader left-wing network.”

“Well, I haven’t seen the vice president’s statement, but I don’t want to say, he’s generally very accurate,” Trump said when asked about what he’d been told about the alleged network.

In an earlier interview, Trump also accused Goode of trying to run over ICE agents. New York Times.
