Two deaths is how we begin 2026. In 2025 alone 34 deaths were caused by ICE either during arrests or at the detention centers, operated for DHS by private prison companies like Geo-Group, which is currently enjoying substantial profits from the Trump anti-immigrant agenda.
The killing of Renee Good was shocking. She was an unarmed U.S. citizen volunteering as a legal observer at a protest in Minneapolis over the violent tactics of ICE police.
The documentation is very clear as to how Renee Nicole Good, a mother of three, was shot and killed by an ICE cop. But the government went on the defensive and minimized – mocked, even – her death.
Minnesota’s Attorney General has sued the federal government claiming that the ICE raids are unconstitutional.
Meanwhile, residents of Minnesota are engaged in resistance organizing. Below are some ways in which compassionate action may help you channel your crushing anger and disappointment in the Trump presidency for unleashing these campaigns of cruel abuses of militarized power throughout the country.
