A crowd of protesters, estimated at around 200, showed up on Thursday afternoon in Eureka “in solidarity with Minneapolis,” expressing anger and grief with their words, songs and messages on signs over the death of Renee Nicole Good. An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer shot and killed Good in her car Wednesday morning during a federal immigration enforcement operation in south Minneapolis within a mile of the site where George Floyd was murdered in 2020.
Many carried signs with her name or photos of a “Justice for Renee Nicole Good” portrait (painted by Nikkolas Smith that had quickly gone viral) as they stood in front of the Humboldt County Courthouse on Fifth Street getting lots of honking horns from passing rush hour traffic. The Raging Grannies provided the soundtrack featuring anti-ICE song lyrics.

The names of Nicole Good and Rachel Corrie will live on long after those responsible for their deaths.
