On Wednesday morning in Minneapolis, 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good was fatally shot by an ICE agent during an encounter. ICE described it as self-defense, claiming Good attempted to drive her vehicle into the agent. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem labeled Good’s actions “domestic terrorism.” In contrast, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey questioned the intent, accusing ICE of power abuse and disrupting the city.
Charleston Protest Details
Over 100 people gathered in Marion Square for a two-hour rally organized by Lowcountry groups, including Charleston DSA. Speakers like Max Sorgenfrey (Charleston DSA co-facilitator) and Matthew Colbure (community organizer) condemned the shooting as “fascistic” and “unprovoked,” linking it to Trump-era immigration policies. Chants demanded justice for Good, ICE’s removal from cities, and an end to violence against immigrants.
Broader Demands and Context
Protesters called for:
- Minnesota state charges against the ICE agent.
- Abolition and defunding of ICE.
- Highlighting ICE’s alleged impunity and targeting of Latino communities.
This event mirrors nationwide protests, framing ICE as harmful to all residents rather than a safety enhancer. No injuries or arrests were reported at the Charleston rally.
