It\u2019s been one<\/span> week since a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement<\/a> (ICE) agent shot and killed Renee Nicole Good, a resident of Minneapolis<\/a>. Since then, the city has been in tumult.<\/p>\n Thousands of protesters\u2014from young students to elderly residents\u2014have taken to the streets, setting up memorials for Good and facing off with ICE agents. Dozens have been arrested.<\/p>\n More than 2,000 ICE agents have been deployed to Minneapolis, with another 1,000<\/a> on the way. Local leaders have decried ICE\u2019s continued, aggressive tactics. \u201cIt feels like our community is under siege by our own federal government,\u201d Minnesota state representative Michael Howard told The New York Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n Department of Homeland Security secretary Kristi Noem has continued claiming that Jonathan Ross<\/a>, the agent who reportedly shot Good, acted in self-defense. Noem has repeatedly called Good a \u201cdomestic terrorist.\u201d<\/p>\n Videos of the situation in Minneapolis show a different reality, however, one where Good appears to be driving away from the scene when Ross fires multiple shots through her windshield. In one video purportedly filmed on Ross\u2019 cell phone that was shared by multiple members of the Trump administration, including Vice President JD Vance, a male voice can be heard saying \u201cfucking bitch\u201d right after the shooting.<\/p>\n The state of Minnesota, along with Minneapolis and Saint Paul, have sued the US government<\/a> in an effort to halt the surge of ICE agents.<\/p>\n Protests across Minnesota\u2014and around the country\u2014are ongoing, on crowded city streets and in small towns, as residents don winter coats and stage walkouts, demonstrating against their federal government.<\/p>\n
