following statements:
AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION
“The shootings in Minneapolis and Portland weren’t the
beginning of ICE’s cruelty, but they must be the end. Today, we saw
communities across the country gather peacefully to mourn the lives
lost at the hands of ICE and to demand accountability. These protests
are further proof that public opposition to ICE and this
administration’s abuses is growing by the minute. Whether it's by
joining a protest, attending a know your rights training, or
demanding that our Congresspeople stop funding these out-of-control
agencies, Americans across the country are saying “NO. Not on our
watch.”
– Deirdre Schifeling, Chief Political and Advocacy
Officer, ACLU
INDIVISIBLE
“Renee Nicole Good should be alive today. Her death has sparked
grief and outrage across the country as the latest horrific incident
in a mounting toll of enormous harm and horror caused by ICE. This
weekend, people all over are coming together not just to mourn the
lives lost to ICE violence, but to confront a pattern of harm that
has torn families apart and terrorized our communities. We demand
justice for Renee, ICE out of our communities, and action from our
elected leaders. Enough is enough."
– Leah Greenberg, Co-Executive Director of Indivisible
POPULAR DEMOCRACY
“Every person ICE has killed had a family, a community, and a
life that mattered. Pouring billions of public dollars into a rogue
enforcement agency that terrorizes our communities while denying
people health care, housing, food security, and education is morally
indefensible and profoundly reckless. This cruelty flows directly
from the agenda of fear and punishment pushed by extremists like
Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller and Secretary of
Defense Pete Hegseth, embraced and strengthened by the President
himself. We demand accountability for the killing of Renee Nicole
Good and for the countless lives lost at the hands of ICE. The lesson
is clear: this violence will not stop until ICE is abolished.”
— DaMareo Cooper, Executive Director, Popular
Democracy
50501
"This weekend's actions are prompted most immediately by the
tragic death of Renee Good in Minneapolis, and her murder at the
hands of ICE is unspeakable. We will uplift her this weekend, and we
will uplift all those in our communities whom ICE has targeted and
brutalized, from Silverio Gonzales to Marimar Martinez to all of
those people in marginalized communities whose names must not be
forgotten. This is our moment. We must conjure the souls of our brave
ancestors and remember we stand on the shoulders of giants."
– Sarah Parker, 50501 Spokesperson and Executive
Director, Voices of Florida Fund
MOVEON CIVIC ACTION
“For a full year, Trump’s masked agents have been abducting
people off the streets, raiding schools, libraries, and churches. As
ICE’s unnecessary, reckless, and escalatory deployment goes
unchecked, the killing of civilians will only continue. None of us
want to live in a country where federal agents with guns are lurking
and inciting violence at schools and in our communities. This is why
MoveOn members will be uniting once again this weekend in peaceful,
nonviolent, powerful protests in stark contrast to the unrepentant,
ruthless violence of this administration.”
– Katie Bethell, MoveOn Civic Action Executive Director
PUBLIC CITIZEN, NOT ABOVE THE LAW COALITION
“Masked, power-hungry federal agents are treating the streets of
America like the Wild West. The intimidation tactics, the deadly
attacks against our communities and the brazen lawlessness by
immigration enforcement must stop now. As ICE and border patrol
agents commandeer neighborhoods, people in detention centers, in ICE
custody or simply in their own personal vehicles fear for their
lives. This militarization of immigration enforcement is endangering
everyone. What’s more alarming is the Department of Homeland
Security, the vice president and president of the United States are
endorsing ICE and CBP’s violent behavior. The Trump Administration
must stop ICE deployment now, we must deeply investigate this unjust
killing, and the American people must file peacefully into the
streets to resist this illegal, overreaching use of government power.
We must stand together to effectively defend ourselves.”
– Lisa Gilbert, co-president of Public Citizen and
co-chair of the Not Above the Law Coalition which formed the
Disappeared in America Campaign.
NDLON
“We immigrants know what authoritarian violence is. Many of us
come from countries where we had to endure the kind of hatred and
terror we saw in Minneapolis. Many of us fled brutal regimes to seek
survival here.”
“We grieve for Renee Nicole Good and all the victims of this
Administration's shameful and senseless brutality — the growing
list of the dead and injured. But we are not just sorrowful. We are
defiant. We, the people, will stand together against all efforts to
dehumanize us, polarize us, terrorize us and kill us.”
“They want to provoke us into responding to violence with
violence, to meet hate with hate. They are desperate to justify their
cruelty with ever more brutality.”
“But we immigrants know how to confront authoritarianism. We
will resist the government's attacks by building community, by
documenting atrocities, by protesting nonviolently, by showing
kindness and solidarity at all times. We will meet them in the
streets, in the courts, at the day labor corners. We will meet them
everywhere. And we will win.”
“We are not afraid or discouraged. And we will not be defeated.
The more we stand together as a community of determination and love,
the harder it will be for them to divide and destroy us.”
– Pablo Alvarado, Co-Executive Director of the National
Day Laborer Organizing Network
THE WORKERS CIRCLE
“The tragic killing of Renee Good — a U.S. citizen exercising
her fundamental rights — by a federal ICE agent is not just a
catastrophic loss for her family and community; it is a stark warning
to all of us about where unchecked power leads. This administration’s
expanding use of force against our neighbors erodes the very rights
and safety that define who we are as a nation. As a Jewish
organization, we know what unchecked power has done in the past. We
must not let that take root here, today. Now, more than ever, we must
demand transparency, accountability, and policies that protect human
life, human dignity and civil liberties for everyone. Allowing
federal forces to act without independent oversight undermines
justice and threatens the safety of us all.”
– Ann Toback, CEO, The Workers Circle
UNITED WE DREAM
“Using your first amendment rights to speak out and show up for
your neighbors during the growing anti-immigrant violence in our
cities should be a protected constitutional right, not a death
sentence. This brutal killing is a horrifying reminder of the threat
armed forces pose to our collective safety, especially at a time when
local, state and federal officials have consistently called on the
federal government to invest in the resources working families truly
need —health care, housing, access to food— instead of
indiscriminate terror in our communities. Billions poured into
immigration raids for the sake of ripping apart communities in cities
like Los Angeles, Chicago and Minneapolis does nothing but lead to
irreparable damage, violence and death. In 2025 alone, 32 people died
in immigration detention. We demand an immediate end to this cruelty
and for elected leaders at every level to speak out in defense of
immigrant communities and our shared safety.”
– United We Dream
VOTO LATINO
“Under Donald Trump’s leadership and Kristi Noem’s direction
of the Department of Homeland Security, ICE has become more
aggressive, more reckless, and more deadly — with 2025 marking its
deadliest year in two decades. The killing of Renee Nicole Good, a
U.S. citizen shot and killed by federal agents in Minneapolis, is not
an isolated failure but the predictable outcome of a political agenda
that rewards force and dehumanization.”
“Trump and Noem have normalized the erosion of constitutional
rights, framing brutality as enforcement and accountability as
weakness. Their rhetoric and policies have sent a clear message down
the chain of command: push limits, ignore safeguards, and expect
protection from consequences. This is not about partisan politics —
it is about defending human life and the rule of law. We stand with
Renee Nicole Good’s family and with communities nationwide to
demand accountability and to stop the unchecked enforcement born of
Trump and Noem’s leadership before more lives are lost.”
