(FOX40.COM) — Community members took to Sacramento’s streets in both anger and sadness Wednesday after an ICE agent fatally shot a Minneapolis woman in what some federal officials have called an act of self-defense and what others are calling an example of ICE brutality.

Broken hearts and calls to action made their way from Minneapolis to Sacramento.

“We came out here to honor Renee Good,” a local protester, Amanda, said.

Community members described the horror they felt when they first saw video that captured the moment an ICE agent fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Good during protests against ICE raids in Minneapolis Wednesday morning.

People across the nation expressed outrage over the incident and here in Northern California, locals are standing together in solidarity — united in their sadness and frustration.

“But we’re also showing the government that we are not okay with this new status quo, and that they will be facing resistance,” Giselle Garcia, a spokesperson for NorCal Resist, told FOX40.

Some federal officials called the ICE agent’s gunfire an act of self-defense — claiming Good was violent. U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, called the victim’s actions “domestic terrorism.” However, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey called the shooting “reckless” and “unnecessary.”

Meanwhile, at Fremont Park, at least 100 people gathered to let out cries for change under a grief-stricken cover of darkness.

“We’re mourning, but also kind of lighting a fire under us again that we cannot stop advocating,” Garcia said.

And just down the street, flames set ablaze, tensions rose, gates rattled as protesters took to Capitol Mall area. Outside the John Moss Federal Building, onlookers could hear all the passion in people’s voices and the sound of car horns honking as they drove by. Protesters told FOX40 that people had been lining up all day long.

Community members also called on lawmakers to take decisive action — condemning ICE and fighting for the abolishment of the agency.

“People are being brutalized and I’m a firm believer that the only way oppression continues is when we stay silent about it and we do nothing,” another protester, James “Faygo” Clark, said.

Garcia shared more about the intentions behind local action on national topics.

“This is just a demonstration that everyone who falls in this fight, we are with.” Garcia said. “And here locally, we will be with everyone who takes a stand against injustices.”
