Thousands of people gathered in cities across the U.S. Saturday to protest the aggressive immigration enforcement action that led to the killing of Renee Good in Minneapolis and shooting of two other people in Portland.

Residents of Washington, D.C., Boston, New York, Raleigh, Seattle and other cities joined the Minneapolis community in grieving the death of Good by marching with signs honoring the 37-year-old mother and chanting anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement sentiments.

“F*** ICE, ICE out” protesters across the country chanted.

“ICE off our streets for Good,” and “Justice for Renee Good” were among the popular signs photographed in the demonstrations.

Other signs called for the impeachment of President Donald Trump, accused the administration of fascism and claimed that ICE was committed “murder.”

The Independent has contacted ICE for comment.

The nonviolent protests, called “ICE Out for Good,” were organized by the ACLU, Indivisible, 50501 movement, the Workers’ Circle, Voto Latino and more. More than 1,000 protests were expected to take place over Saturday and Sunday.

The outrage fueling the protests comes days after an ICE officer fatally shot Good while she was maneuvering her vehicle in the middle of the road. Trump administration officials assert that Good was trying to run over ICE officers, calling it an act of “domestic terrorism.”

However, footage of the incident, posted all over social media, does not align with the administration’s assertion that the officer was acting in self-defense because he felt his life was in danger.

Many have refused to accept the administration’s narrative about the incident without question, including top Minnesota lawmakers, Democratic politicians and certain parts of the media.

Members of the public and lawmakers have demanded that the officer be held accountable for the shooting. Yet, federal law enforcement officials have refused to cooperate with Minnesota investigators in conducting a probe into the incident.

Public anger about aggressive immigration tactics was heightened Thursday when Border Patrol in Portland shot a man and a woman, injuring them.

As a result, peaceful protests have sprung up, putting pressure on officials to be more transparent about the killing of Good and to decrease the number of federal law enforcement officers in cities.

However, not all lawmakers agree that the protests are largely peaceful.

“They’re yelling ‘Save a life, kill ICE.’ That is not peaceful and that is not appropriate,” Republican Rep. Tom Emmer of Minnesota told Fox & Friends.

“Then you’ve got a boy-toy mayor, somebody who is not mature enough for the job. Yelling the effenheimer about getting ICE out of his city,” Emmer said of Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey.

The protests have largely been peaceful, though some incidents led to law enforcement intervention.

In Minneapolis, where protests swelled to include thousands of people, at least 29 people were arrested Friday evening after some people vandalized a hotel and threw chunks of ice at police. Law enforcement deployed pepper balls at a crowd of protesters Saturday after a small group of people began throwing snowballs at vehicles.

Ahead of the planned weekend protests, officials, including Frey, reminded demonstrators to exercise their First Amendment right peacefully and not give in to agitators.

“This is what Donald Trump wants,” Frey said of protesters who engaged in unlawful behavior. “He wants us to take the bait.”

Frey and other lawmakers have asserted that the presence of federal law enforcement officials in cities has increased tension, leading to more instances of violence. They’ve asked Trump to remove ICE officers and allow local law enforcement to keep their communities safe.

As you can clearly see in the video analysis and multiple angles from multiple videos including the one from murderer Jonathan Ross' perspective, murderer Jonathan Ross was never in danger, the tires of the vehicle were pointed away from him, and he clearly stepped to the side unobstructed and continued to shoot innocent woman Renee Nicole Good point blank in the face, while fumbling with his cell phone in his other hand, while she was trying to comply with an order to move her vehicle, because he is the murderer Jonathan Ross.

Murderer Jonathan Ross, who murdered innocent woman Renee Nicole Good, also violated DOJ policy on use of force.

"Specifically, firearms may not be discharged at a moving vehicle unless: (1) a person in the vehicle is threatening the officer or another person with deadly force by means other than the vehicle; or (2) the vehicle is operated in a manner that threatens to cause death or serious physical injury to the officer or others, and no other objectively reasonable means of defense appear to exist, which includes moving out of the path of the vehicle."

Murderer and domestic terrorist Jonathan Ross was clearly out to kill someone, and Jonathan Ross murdered Renee Good. Domestic terrorist organization ICE also denied and delayed medical aid to Renee Nicole Good, again against DOJ policy, every ethical and moral measure imaginable, and basic humanity. Coward, murderer Jonathan Ross then fled the scene uninjured. Murderer Jonathan Ross is a psychopath, just like all his colleagues in ICE, who are all accessories to murder.

When people are turning out nationwide, it’s usually because trust is completely broken, not because of one isolated incident. Protests like this are about years of accumulated anger finally boiling over.

Watching the aerial footage is nuts, my god there are SO many people.

Hey MAGA, if your beloved orange pedophile declares martial law to cheat his way through the Midterms, this is just a fraction of the number of people you'll see on the streets when he tries it. Good luck.
