About 1,000 Rally at Dallas City Hall Over Minneapolis ICE Shooting

A group of about 1,000 people protested the killing of Renee Nicole Good, 37, by an ICE agent during a fight in Minneapolis. They gathered in the plaza outside of Dallas City Hall and marched through downtown streets Thursday night.

People waved and took pictures of the march on their phones as the crowd moved through the city after 8 p.m. Police stopped traffic. The protest was one of many across the country after Good's death, which has led federal officials and Minnesotan leaders to say different things.

Police in Dallas shot Good after telling her to get out of her car, which then started to move. Protesters in Dallas said they were there to demand justice for Good. Sarah Tejeda said, "This is not the America I grew up in," as she left her 12-hour shift to go to the rally. "I think she did not deserve to end up the way she did."

The Minneapolis City Council stated that Good, a resident, was assisting her friends at the time of her death. The Department of Homeland Security, on the other hand, called what happened an act of "domestic terrorism" and said Good used her car against police.

Members of the Dallas City Council, including Adam Bazaldua, called the shooting a "cold-blooded murder" and said the city has made it clear that ICE is not wanted. Robert Cerna, acting as head of the ICE field office in Dallas, told CBS that the death was sad but that he could not comment further because the investigation was still ongoing.

As part of Operation Metro Surge, ICE actions in Minnesota got tougher in the weeks before the shooting. A video that went viral online caused concerns about daycare centers, which federal officials said led to the sending of thousands of agents to the state to look into claims of fraud. However, state officials later said those fears were mostly unfounded.

At the protest in Dallas, longtime Democrat Jerry Reneau said that he thinks the Trump administration's push for immigration will hurt people for a long time. He said, "America will never be the same again."
