Protesters gather at the south gates of the Texas Capitol on Friday, Jan. 9, 2026. About one hundred demonstrators gathered to protest ICE operations and decry the death of Renee Good in Minneapolis.

Overview

  • Organizers said more than 1,000 'ICE Out For Good' events were planned this weekend, with thousands rallying in Minneapolis and large turnouts reported in cities including Washington, Philadelphia, Boston and Los Angeles.
  • Minneapolis police detained about 29 to 30 people Friday night after a protest at a hotel where agents were believed to be staying, while officials emphasized that most demonstrations have been peaceful.
  • Footage from bystanders and the shooting officer, identified as Jonathan Ross, appears to show Renee Good steering away as he fired, contradicting DHS statements and the president’s claim that she ran over the agent.
  • Minnesota and Hennepin County launched a separate criminal inquiry from the FBI’s investigation, and local leaders complained of limited access to evidence as legal experts noted federal immunity is not automatic.
  • DHS deployed roughly 2,000 federal officers to the Twin Cities for what it called its largest operation, and three Minnesota members of Congress said ICE obstructed their Saturday oversight visit to a regional facility.
