North Jersey Protestors Condemn ICE Killing In Minnesota: Photos

NORTH JERSEY — Vigils and protests took place across North Jersey over the weekend after a 37-year-old mother was fatally shot in the face by an ICE agent in Minnesota on Wednesday.

Renee Good, who had recently moved to Minnesota with her partner and 6-year-old son, was shot by an officer while driving in Minneapolis, the state's capital. Accounts from the Trump administration say her car posed a threat to officers; supporters say she was merely trying to leave. A video analysis of the incident is here.

Family members affected by the shooting held a press conference in Minnesota on Monday afternoon to release new details. The same day, the Trump administration said it will send more agents to the capital.

Critics of Immigrations and Customs Enforcement have complained that their presence is ramping up violence, that ICE was only sent to places run by political foes of the administration, and that U.S. citizens have been mistakenly detained.

The rallies in New Jersey over the weekend were held in Jersey City, Weehawken, Fort Lee, Fair Lawn, Bloomfield, and as far away as Georgia and Texas.
