As more snow covers the ground, hundreds of people are marching on the icy pavement in Minneapolis to protest the fatal ICE shooting of Renee Good.

Repeated chants of Good’s name echoed through Powderhorn Park this afternoon, along with community members’ demands for ICE to leave the city.

Attendees held signs reading, “ICE will melt,” and “It’s not very pro-life to kill our neighbors,” as they gathered for a rally on the recreational ground, before pouring out into the street and marching through a Minneapolis neighborhood. The crowd stretched for a full block at the height of the march.

This kind of activity isn’t new for Powderhorn Park. The area has a history of being a central hub for demonstrations, notably serving as the prime gathering place for the 2020 George Floyd protests.

Law enforcement is expecting demonstrations to continue here throughout the weekend.
