Demonstrators took to cities including Salt Lake City and LA to voice outrage over ICE’s fatal shooting of Renee Good

Thousands of people took to the streets across the US this weekend to express their outrage over the fatal shooting of a Minneapolis woman by an immigration officer, even as the head of homeland security, Kristi Noem, pledged on Sunday to send “hundreds more” federal agents to the city.

Demonstrators in Minneapolis marched toward the residential street where Renee Good, a 37-year-old American citizen and mother of three, was fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer on Wednesday while driving away in her car.

Officials said 30 people had already been arrested during Saturday’s protests, and that one police officer was injured after a “chunk of ice was thrown”. The mayor, Jacob Frey, said the “vast majority of community members have demonstrated peacefully”.

Later on Sunday, Noem doubled down. “We’re sending more officers today and tomorrow,” she told Fox News. “There will be hundreds more in order to allow our ICE and our border patrol individuals that are working in Minneapolis to do so safely.”

I think Kristi Noem herself should make an appearance, see how that works out.
