National outrage continues to escalate over the Trump administration’s violent immigration crackdown. Over the past two days, protesters urging Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Patrol to leave their cities took to the streets from Minneapolis and Chicago to Houston, Texas; Portland, Oregon; New York; Oakland and San Diego, California.
Many of the demonstrators’ signs memorialized Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mom and poet who was shot in the face by an ICE officer on Wednesday while attempting to drive away from several ICE agents parked on her block. Top Trump officials have smeared Good as a “domestic terrorist” and claimed she was attempting to hit an officer with her car. One day after her death, Border Patrol agents shot at two Venezuelan nationals in a Portland hospital parking lot, prompting protests at Portland’s ICE facility and a vigil at City Hall, according to Oregon Public Broadcasting.
Local and state officials in both Minneapolis and Portland have condemned federal agents’ use of force, with Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey pointedly telling ICE to “get the fuck out” of the city. The Trump administration is instead deploying another 100 agents to the Twin Cities.
More demonstrations are expected into the weekend.
Below, we share a selection of some protest scenes from across the country.

ETA: strangely, the Boston events are not on that list, but for anyone in my area, there are 2 events tomorrow. Noon at the State House, 2pm at Government Center. more info and another map here
I am surprised about the one in East Cobb GA, it is in the same place where there was a surprising large “No Kings” protest in October. That place is an affluent lily white area, that I would have expected to be very Trumpy.
Remember when the then Attorney General William Barr falsely summarized the contents of the Mueller Report before it was released? He tried to spin it in favor of Trump and the administration. See the link below. The same thing is happening now with Trump, Vance, Rubio, Noem, et al endeavoring to spin a false narrative of facts of the ICE killing of a citizen in Minneapolis, AND, the FBI is blocking any local Minnesota BCA involvement in an investigation. MAGA wants to tell you what you saw in the videos!! Believe your own eyes!!
“Oh! Come and see the violence inherent in the citizens! Help! Help! ICE is being repressed!”
Find an ICE Out for Good event near you this weekend! We’re mobilizing nationwide.
YES. I’ll be at the one in Boston tomorrow.
Here’s the map to find them all over the US
