50501movement website<\/a>.<\/p>\nSteven Eubanks, 51, said he felt compelled to get out of his comfort zone and attend a Saturday protest in Durham, North Carolina, because of what he called the \u201chorrifying\u201d killing in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe can\u2019t allow it,\u201d Eubanks said. \u201cWe have to stand up.\u201d<\/p>\n
Indivisible, a social movement organization that formed to resist the Trump administration, said hundreds of protests are scheduled in Texas, Kansas, New Mexico, Ohio, Florida and other states. Many were dubbed \u201cICE Out for Good\u201d using the acronym for the federal agency Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Indivisible and its local chapters organized protests in all 50 states last year.<\/p>\n
In Minneapolis, a coalition of migrant rights groups called for a demonstration at Powderhorn Park, a large green space about half a mile from the residential neighborhood where\u00a037-year-old Renee Good\u00a0was shot on Wednesday. They said the rally and march would celebrate\u00a0Good\u2019s life\u00a0and call for an \u201cend to deadly terror on our streets.\u201d<\/p>\n
Protests held in the neighborhood so far have been peaceful, in contrast to the violence that hit Minneapolis in the\u00a0aftermath of the killing of George Floyd\u00a0in 2020. Near the airport, some confrontations erupted on Thursday and Friday between smaller groups of protesters and agents guarding the federal building used as a base for the Twin Cities crackdown.<\/p>\n
Minneapolis police said at least 30 people were cited and released during protests Friday night that drew hundreds of people. Police said protesters threw ice, snow and rocks at officers, police vehicles and other vehicles, but no serious injuries were reported.<\/p>\n
Vice President JD Vance and Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin have said the officer who shot Good was justified in firing his gun.<\/p>\n
\u201cMany of you have been told this law enforcement officer wasn\u2019t hit by a car, wasn\u2019t being harassed, and murdered an innocent woman,\u201d Vance said. \u201cThe reality is that his life was endangered and he fired in self-defense.\u201d<\/p>\n
In addition to observing that the video indicated otherwise, some law enforcement officials and experts around the nation have stated publicly that an officer should not position himself in front of a moving vehicle or shoot into one.<\/p>\n
Also on Saturday, relatives of a man who was fatally shot by an off-duty ICE agent in Northridge and civil rights advocates are scheduled to conduct a candlelight vigil in Carson in his memory, as well as to honor Good\u2019s life.<\/p>\n
Najee Ali, the director of Project Islamic Hope and one of the vigil\u2019s organizers, said the shootings of Good and Keith Porter Jr. on New Year\u2019s Eve \u201care not isolated incidents.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey reflect a dangerous pattern of excessive force, poor judgment, and a lack of accountability that is costing innocent people their lives,\u201d Ali said in a statement. \u201cWe are coming together to mourn, to demand truth and to call for justice.\u201d<\/p>\n
The vigil is set for 5 p.m. in Carson Park.<\/p>\n
