Around 200 people turned out Saturday at the Humboldt County Courthouse to protest last week’s fatal shooting of a Minneapolis mother of three in her car by an U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer during a massive deportation operation in the city.
The gathering was one of three in Humboldt — others took place in Arcata and Trinidad — and among hundreds held across the country in a movement known as “ICE Out for Good” in reference to the killing of 37-year-old Renee Good.
Her death sparked outrage and demands for accountability amid the Trump administration’s massive immigration crackdown in cities across the nation that have seen at least five people killed. A federal investigation into Good’s shooting is ongoing.
Photographer Mark Larson was there to capture the scene on Saturday, where many were holding homemade signs, including “The ICE Man Can’t Kill the Good in All of US,” “Resist” and “Stand for Good Not ICE.” The day marked the second local protest in response to Good’s killing and the overall tactics employed by the Trump administration, ICE and other immigration agencies. Another took place at the courthouse on Jan. 8, one day after the shooting.
Leah Greenberg, a co-executive director of Indivisible, one of several grassroots coalitions that organized the weekend of action, told NPR that the demonstrations allow people to “grieve, honor those we’ve lost, and demand accountability from a system that has operated with impunity for far too long.”
“Renee Nicole Good was a wife, a mother of three, and a member of her community. She, and the dozens of other sons, daughters, friends, siblings, parents, and community members who have been killed by ICE, should be alive today,” Greenberg said in a statement to the news organization. “ICE’s violence is not a statistic, it has names, families, and futures attached to it, and we refuse to look away or stay silent.”
The Women’s March “Free America Walkout” is set to take place at the courthouse starting at noon on Saturday, Jan. 17.
