Minneapolis shooting felt close to home as speakers address ICE operations locally<\/p>\n

Video of Good\u2019s killing shows multiple ICE officers surrounding an SUV stopped in the middle of the road. One officer is heard demanding the driver exit the vehicle and grabs the car handle. The SUV reverses before driving forward. A second officer, near the front of the car, fired at least three gunshots into the vehicle, striking Good.\n<\/p>\n

The state\u2019s investigations agency said Thursday that the U.S. attorney\u2019s office has prevented it from taking part in the investigation, which will now \u201cbe led solely by the FBI,\u201d according to the Associated Press<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

The Minnesota Star Tribune<\/a> has identified the officer who fired the shots as Jonathan Ross. According to the New York Times<\/a>, Ross was dragged about 100 yards last year by a driver during an immigration operation in Minnesota.\n<\/p>\n

ICE says Good was shot in her car after attempting to run over immigration agents. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem<\/a> said ICE officials were pushing one of their vehicles out of the snow Wednesday morning when protesters appeared. Noem<\/a> said 37-year-old Good blocked federal officers with her vehicle and refused to exit her car when officers ordered her to do so and called her actions \u201ca domestic act of terrorism.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey called the narrative that the shooting was done in self-defense \u201cgarbage.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\u201dHaving seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody that is bulls***,\u201d he said.\n<\/p>\n

The Democrat called on ICE agents to leave the city<\/a>, asserting that federal immigration authorities were ripping families apart and sowing chaos on Minneapolis streets.\n<\/p>\n

N\u00fa\u00f1ez said ICE does not serve to keep communities safe and instead causes harm by separating families.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cLet us be honest, if ICE is willing to shoot an ally, a white woman in the face, for documenting abuse, it is our duty to expose and condemn what they have done and will continue to do to Black and brown people behind closed doors,\u201d N\u00fa\u00f1ez said.

Jay Bergen, the pastor of the Germantown Mennonite Church<\/a>, led chants and songs of unity during Thursday\u2019s protest in Philadelphia.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a Christian, as a person of faith and conscience, I stand opposed to any injustice anytime that violence is used, any violence used to oppress people to tear us apart,\u201d Bergen said. \u201cI\u2019m here because my heart is breaking. I\u2019m here because ICE decided they can kill people just for trying to document, just for being present on the streets\u2026 That is [the] impunity that we have given them.\u201d
