January 8, 2026 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm More Info and RSVP: https://actionnetwork.org/events/ice-murderers-out-maine-stands-with-minneapolis Description: On January 7th, ICE agents murdered Renee Nicole Good, a U.S. citizen, in broad daylight during the fascist Trump administration’s latest immigration operation in Minneapolis. Just yesterday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) head Kristi Noem, armed with a newly bloated annual operating budget of $18.7 billion dollars, appeared in the Twin Cities boasting about the largest immigration enforcement operation ever, with 2,000 federal agents dispatched to harass, racially profile, arrest, and now kill Minnesotans. Good, who according to witnesses stopped to record ICE activity, was leaving the scene in her car with her wife and young child when an ICE agent shot her multiple times at point blank range and subsequently denied her medical aid. Her murder, now circulating globally in several viral videos, is yet another instance of the violence that ICE is carrying out in communities all over the country. Though the videos clearly show that Good was leaving when she was murdered, DHS is attempting to cover up the murder by claiming “self defense” and publicly disparaging their victim. As this fascist administration continues to attack our rights, our neighbors, and our communities, we must remember the strength and solidarity we showed only a few years ago during the 2020 Uprising following the horrific murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. The Twin Cities showed us then, as they do now, the courage to fight back against those who seek to destroy us. Please join us tonight for a rally in solidarity with the people of Minneapolis, the family of Renee Nicole Good, and people threatened by ICE everywhere. Can't make it? Contact your representatives directly or using this tool to oppose more money for ICE and CBP in the impending FY26 DHS appropriations bill. The message is simple: Don’t give ICE one more penny to jail immigrants in the FY26 DHS spending bill.
