Thousands of protesters – ranging from young students to elderly residents – have taken to the streets, setting up monuments to Goode and confronting ICE agents. Dozens have been arrested.
More than 2,000 ICE agents have been deployed to Minneapolis, with another 1,000 arriving. Local leaders have condemned ICE’s continued, aggressive tactics. “It feels like our community is under siege by our own federal government,” Minnesota state representative Michael Howard told The New York Times.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem continues to claim that Jonathan Ross, the agent who allegedly shot Good, acted in self-defense. Noem has repeatedly called Goode a “domestic terrorist.”
However, videos from the situation in Minneapolis show a different reality, with Good driving away from the scene after Ross fired several bullets through her windshield. In a video reportedly filmed on Ross’ cellphone, which was shared by several members of the Trump administration, including Vice President J.D. Vance, a male voice can be heard saying “fucking bitch” just after the shooting.
The state of Minnesota, along with Minneapolis and St. Paul, have now sued the US government in an effort to stop the increase of ICE agents.
Protests continue across Minnesota and across the country, on crowded city streets and in small towns, as residents don winter coats and walk out to demonstrate against their federal government.
