U.S. Braces for 1,000-Plus Rallies Over ICE Killing in Minneapolis

Minnesota officials say the FBI has blocked their access to key evidence during their separate criminal inquiry.

Overview

  • Organizers from groups including Indivisible, the ACLU, MoveOn, Voto Latino and United We Dream say more than 1,000 protests and vigils are planned nationwide this weekend following the death of Renee Nicole Good.
  • State and county authorities launched their own investigation as the FBI leads the federal probe, with local officials saying federal agents seized Good’s vehicle and shell casings and set terms that exclude them from key evidence review.
  • Federal officials contend the ICE agent, identified in reports as Jonathan Ross, fired in self‑defense against a vehicle used as a weapon, while Minneapolis leaders cite bystander video they argue does not justify deadly force.
  • Video recorded by the shooting officer shows a calm exchange with Good but does not capture the car’s movement or the gunfire, and Hennepin County’s attorney opened a public evidence portal to collect community submissions.
  • Protests expanded Friday from Minneapolis to cities including Denver, Detroit, Milwaukee and Tampa, with at least 30 people cited in a Minneapolis hotel protest, reports of pepperball and tear gas at federal sites, and additional DHS reinforcements to Minneapolis reported by local media.
