Hauling a boombox attached to a cart, three sisters stood at the base of City Hall in downtown Colorado Springs Saturday in the wake of Wednesday’s shooting by an immigration officer that killed 37-year-old Renee Good in Minneapolis. Carrying signs criticizing the killing of Good, a former resi dent of Colorado Springs, the three joined over 200 people in a chant: “From Minnesota to the 719, observing ICE is not a crime.” Organized by the Colorado Springs Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression, hundreds of people filled the streets of downtown Colorado Springs to protest the killing of Good, a U.S. citizen and mother of three. According to Minnesota officials, Good was a volunteer in a neighborhood network that tracked ICE operations. On Saturday, people marched from Acacia Park to the El Paso County Courthouse and then ended at City Hall during the protest, which lasted almost three hours.

Seamans) “(The shooting) sets a precedent for what’s next,” said a 25-year-old resident. The woman and her sisters, who asked not to be named out of fear for their safety, came to the rally because they said it’s a critical point in history for them to use their voice to protest the direction President Donald Trump and his administration wants to take for the country. The woman said the shooting of Good and other activities by ICE agents are creating a snowball effect that is pushing the country closer to Nazi Germany. “The fact that I have to be scared because of the color of my skin is really concerning,” the woman said. “I’m raising two little Brown girls, and whose to say that, as the snowball keeps rolling, they’re going to become targets?” The sisters feel like enough isn’t being done, because too many people are complacent and not enough of them are using their voices. While organizers said Saturday’s rally turnout was one of their larger ones, the sisters said the numbers were too small. Joe Reagan, a Democratic candidate for the 5th Congressional District seat held by Rep. Jeff Crank, said the turnout was a mixture of people from all sides. “You’ve got Democrats. You’ve got Republicans. You’ve got unaffiliated voters. And we’re all united with this idea that it’s important that we have leaders who are willing to stand up for our individual liberties,” he said. Reagan said the Trump administration has “consistently” shown its “unwillingness” to stand up for individual liberties, citing the killing of Good as an example of how they “demonize” people who are just trying to exercise their freedom of speech. Running for the same seat, 5th District candidate Zuri Horowitz, also a Democrat, said ICE needs to be completely dismantled and built from the ground up, saying people who are in the country illegally need to be deported while still being treated like a human. Videos of Good’s fatal encounter with ICE agents on a snowy Minneapolis afternoon earlier this week, widely circulating on social media, appear to show her being approached by an ICE officer as her Honda SUV is stopped sideways on the street. Agents approach the vehicle and one attempts to open the driver’s side door. A moment later the vehicle lurches sharply forward and to the right, where ICE Officer Jonathan Ross can be seen. Ross then fires multiple shots into the SUV, striking Good in the head. Details of the shooting are in dispute. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and other federal officials described the shooting as self-defense. They allege that Good’s vehicle was blocking agents and that she attempted to run over officers. Noem called her actions “domestic terrorism.” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social that Good “violently” and “willfully” ran over Ross. He blamed the “radical left” for the shooting and said that ICE agents are just trying to do the job of making America safe.

(The Gazette, Michael G. Seamans) Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison disputed the federal narrative. Frey called the account “bulls—” and alleged Ross “recklessly” used force.  Ellison has said he believes the video evidence shows an “escalation by the officers” and that Good was trying to evade, not attack. The shooting is currently under investigation by the FBI. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension was initially involved in a joint investigation but withdrew after the U.S. Attorney’s Office decided the case was solely in federal jurisdiction. State and local officials objected and say they are gathering their own evidence. “It’s really hard for people to actually find out what’s going on,” Horowitz said. “Often, main news networks are acting like this is a both sides situation. It’s not.” Another Colorado Springs protest is scheduled for Sunday at City Hall. ...read more read less
