WARSAW — Residents have organized a protest for Saturday in Warsaw over the shooting death of a woman in Minneapolis by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer.
The Kosciusko County Democratic Party is organizing Saturday’s 2 p.m. protest outside of the Warsaw Community Public Library at the corner of Center and North Detroit Street.
The “Justice For Good’ protest is in response to the killing of a 37-year-old Renee Good who was shot in the face and died while attempting to drive away from ICE agents during a protest.
More than 1,000 protests were reported across the country over the weekend in response to Good’s death, and more unrest was reported Monday in Minneapolis.
The Associated Press reports that days of demonstrations against immigration agents left Minnesota tense on Tuesday, a day after federal authorities used tear gas to break up crowds of whistle-blowing activists and state and local leaders sued to fight the enforcement surge that led to the fatal shooting of a Minneapolis woman.
Confrontations between federal agents and protesters stretched throughout the day and across multiple cities on Monday.
Representatives of the Trump Administration defended the shooting of Good while many others contend the ICE agent was not in imminent danger.
