ICE Actions in South Minneapolis
ICE activity has surged in the Twin Cities with the recent deployment of 2,000+ additional agents. Local resistance has also increased.
This Wednesday, ICE killed a driver at 34th & Portland Ave. ICE officials say Renee Nicole Good was shot and killed after attempting to run over agents with her car. City officials and witnesses dispute ICE’s version of what happened, and Mayor Frey has call for ICE to leave Minneapolis. Learn more.
After the shooting, nearby MPS schools went into lockdown, and an incident occurred outside Roosevelt High School where people were pepper-sprayed. MPS school and all MPS-sponsored programs and activities are cancelled Thursday–Friday. Learn more.
Last Saturday, ICE agents stopped and removed a driver from their car on the south side of Kenwood Park. Neighbors documented the apprehension and contacted the driver's family so they would know what happened.
ICE protests are being organized by various organizations on social media. If you plan to attend, know how to protest peacefully and lawfully.
