PREVIOUS COVERAGE: Protestors gather in Dallas Thursday night to protest ICE (FOX 4) <\/p>\n

Several protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement are planned throughout Saturday in several areas of North Texas.<\/p>\n

Many are expected to gather in Denton, Southlake, Fort Worth and possibly Dallas to stand against the rising presence and action of ICE officers, particularly the recent fatal shooting in Minneapolis<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Once the protests begin, FOX 4 will stream coverage of the events on this page.\u00a0<\/p>\n

North Texas ICE protests <\/p>\n

Denton:<\/p>\n

A protest is planned in Denton at 11 a.m. Saturday.<\/p>\n

Southlake:<\/p>\n

Another protest is also planned for 11 a.m. in Southlake.<\/p>\n

Fort Worth:<\/p>\n

An “ICE Out of Fort Worth” protest is planned for 4 p.m. at General Worth Square.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dallas:<\/p>\n

A protest is possible at 6 p.m. in Downtown Dallas, but details on this protest have been scarce.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fatal ICE shooting in Minneapolis\u00a0 <\/p>\n

The backstory:<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good was shot and killed in Minnesota by an ICE agent. Federal officials are claiming the agent acted in self-defense, but Minnesota leaders disagree.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Witnesses told FOX Local that Good got into a red vehicle and there was one ICE agent on either side of the vehicle trying to get in, and a third ICE agent came and tried to yank on the driver’s side door. One of the agents on the driver’s side door backed away, and then opened fire, shooting three times through the driver’s side window, the witness said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Another witness said the vehicle wasn’t moving toward the agents. However, federal officials said ICE officers were “conducting targeted operations” when “rioters” blocked officers. One of the “rioters weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them.”<\/p>\n

ICE shooting in Minneapolis leaves woman dead<\/a> <\/p>\n

An ICE agent fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis on Wednesday morning. Federal officials are claiming the agent acted in self-defense, but Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey is calling “bullshit” on that claim.<\/p>\n

Officials said an ICE officer who was “fearing for his life” fired “defensive shots” to save himself and his officers, killing the woman. The White House strongly defends the agent’s actions, implying there was a reason for self-defense.<\/p>\n

“She was trying to ram this guy with his, with her car. He defended himself. He’s already been wounded in law enforcement operations before,” said Vice President J.D. Vance.<\/p>\n

Court records show the agent was seriously injured last summer after being dragged by a vehicle for at least 50 yards during another enforcement operation.<\/p>\n

It isn’t clear how long he was off the job or when he was cleared to come back, but the demand for answers is growing.<\/p>\n

Video of the incident is also adding fuel to the fire of protests and confrontations with law enforcement in Minnesota and across the country.<\/p>\n
