Kansas City Vigil Draws About 1,000 After ICE Shooting in Minneapolis
Demonstrators in Kansas City call for transparency during the ongoing federal investigation.
Overview
- The gathering at Mill Creek Park followed the killing of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in Minneapolis.
- The FBI is leading the investigation, and the Justice Department says Good moved her car toward officers, a claim that community leaders dispute.
- Organizers billed the event as Stand with Minneapolis, a peaceful vigil led by Boots on the Ground Midwest that included a march through the Country Club Plaza.
- Attendees described the shooting as unjustified and framed Good’s death within broader harms they attribute to ICE, including family separations.
- National commentary remains divided, with Vice President J.D. Vance and a former law-enforcement trainer defending the officer’s actions as a split-second response.
