hundreds of people gathered in downtown Iowa City on Sunday to mourn the death of Renee Good, who was killed last week by a federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Minneapolis.
During the peaceful demonstration, several people said they were horrified and outraged after watching videos of Good being shot by an ICE agent in her vehicle. The videos show Good backing up in her vehicle and turning her wheels away from agents before she is shot.
The Iowa City rally was one of many “ICE Out For Good” protests held across the nation.
In related news, multiple South Dakota tribal leaders are condemning recent actions by ICE personnel, related to harassment and detainment of tribal members in Minneapolis.
A statement from the office of Ogalala Sioux Tribe President Frank Star said he is aware of reports of the detainment of four Oglala tribal members by ICE in Minneapolis.
In the report, an Oglala bystander was able to get their tribal identities, but unable to get their names.
In another statement, Standing Rock Sioux Tribe Chairman Steve Sitting Bear writes “Our nation is a sovereign government, and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”
