LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) – Crowds gathered in cities across the country, including in Lubbock, this weekend to protest Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The protests came after an ICE officer shot and killed Renee Good in Minneapolis last week. The crowd gathered outside of Lubbock’s Citizens Tower Sunday chanted “Justice for Renee”.

Some people held signs calling for that justice, some held signs against the federal agency, calling for its abolishment.

Defend Democracy Lubbock was one of the groups that announced participation in the Lubbock protest.

Meanwhile, in Austin multiple people were detained this weekend. At one point, the Department of Public Safety used a chemical irritant to break up the crowd. Hundreds of anti-ICE demonstrations also took to the streets in Houston and San Antonio this weekend.
