Residents in three South Florida<\/a> communities held protests over the weekend demanding accountability after a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement<\/a> (ICE) agent shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis last week.<\/p>\n

One of the protests was held outside the ICE holding facility in Pompano Beach<\/a> for Renee Good, the woman killed in Minneapolis<\/a>, as well as for anyone who has died at the hands of ICE agents.<\/p>\n

A large group of protesters lined North Powerline Road on Sunday, with the group holding signs calling for ICE to “get out of our community.”<\/p>\n

This event was among the more than 1,000 that were held across the country<\/a> that were held over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Many people who CBS News Miami spoke with said there needs to be policy changes to avoid more deaths at the hands of ICE agents.<\/p>\n

“These officers are put into situations where they have to maintain their cool, and unfortunately a lot of them aren’t capable of doing that” said protester Patrick McCabe. “I think more unnecessary shootings will happen and I just wanted to show my opposition to the whole policy.”<\/p>\n

Another protest is being planned in the Florida Keys<\/a> on Monday.<\/p>\n

Protest to be held in Marathon on Monday<\/p>\n

The Middle Keys Democrats are holding a protest on Monday, and the group said they will be held every Monday moving forward.<\/p>\n

“Non-immigrants have a moral duty to do what we can to shine a light on the illegal actions of our government,” the Middle Keys Democrats said in a statement. “This is one way we can do it.”<\/p>\n

The protest is being held Monday from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. on the Gulf sidewalk of the Overseas Highway in front of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection<\/a> building in Marathon<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Residents in three South Florida communities held protests over the weekend demanding accountability after a U.S. Immigration and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":115000,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[506,28,30,2472,29,6341,1064,5696,8928,807,4630,3806],"class_list":["post-114999","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-florida","tag-broward-county","tag-florida","tag-florida-headlines","tag-florida-keys","tag-florida-news","tag-marathon","tag-miami-dade","tag-monroe-county","tag-pompano-beach","tag-south-florida","tag-u-s-customs-and-border-protection","tag-u-s-immigration-and-customs-enforcement"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114999","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=114999"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114999\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/115000"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=114999"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=114999"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=114999"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
