Following the fatal shooting of activist Renee Good by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer in Minneapolis, civil liberties and migrant-rights groups organized nationwide protests. More than 1,000 events are planned, revealing widespread demands for an end to aggressive ICE operations, particularly in Democrat-led cities, according to Reuters and Channel News Asia.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz have emphasized the need for peaceful demonstrations, urging citizens to avoid any actions that could be perceived as unlawful. Demonstrators in Minneapolis took to the streets, following a shooting that intensified fears about the presence of ICE in their communities, says South China Morning Post and Los Angeles Times.

Conflicts arose as protests outside a Minneapolis hotel hosting ICE agents escalated into violence, leading to injuries among police. Frey criticized efforts to incite chaos, stating such actions play into President Trump's agenda, and highlighted the importance of maintaining peaceful protests, according to HuffPost and Los Angeles Times.

As demonstrators highlight the climate of fear surrounding ICE's operations, with statements from community members expressing solidarity against these actions, the visibility of these protests signals a collective unrest. Reports indicate that on the night of the fatal shooting, bystander video footage has contradicted the federal accounts of the incident, adding to the outrage, as detailed by Reuters and Channel News Asia.

With ongoing investigations at both the state and federal levels into the shooting, activists continue to call for accountability and a halt to ICE's aggressive tactics. The protests have garnered support and planning assistance from various organizations including the American Civil Liberties Union and MoveOn Civic Action, reflecting a broader coalition against immigration enforcement practices, according to Los Angeles Times and HuffPost.
