In a surge of community action, protesters have set up impromptu barricades in Minneapolis, marking the site where an ICE agent fatally shot a local woman. The neighborhood’s residents are now striving to prevent federal agents from entering while the city remains on high alert.

Renee Nicole Good, aged 37, tragically lost her life when an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer opened fire on her vehicle amidst a protest.

This incident has ignited widespread demonstrations throughout Minnesota, further intensifying the ongoing debate over ICE’s operations during the Trump administration.

In response to the shooting, activists opposing ICE swiftly organized and constructed barricades early Thursday morning at the intersection where Good was struck by three gunshots to the face.

The barriers, assembled from a mix of pallets, traffic cones, garbage cans, and wooden planks, stand as a symbol of protest and community solidarity.

Those stationed at the barricades expressed to CNN that they are members of Minneapolis’s immigrant community, committed to protecting their neighborhood.

One individual said the barricade was meant to keep cars from entering the neighborhood. 

A photo of the barricade showed a large wooden board with the inscription: ‘Protect the living & honor the dead!’ 

Community members created a makeshift barricade around the intersection where Renee Nicole Good, 37, was shot and killed

Protesters flooded the streets in Minnesota after Good’s death. Demonstrators brought signs that read ‘Killer ICE off our streets,’ pictured above 

On the other side of the barricade, community members set up a memorial for Good with signs and candles. 

Footage of a vigil at the memorial last night from local Fox affiliate, KMSP, showed mourners chanting Good’s name and praising her for defending members of the community. 

The Minneapolis Public School District canceled classes and activities for the rest of the week due to ‘safety concerns.’

School-sponsored programs, activities, athletics, and community education classes were also canceled in the wake of potential unrest. 

‘MPS will continue collaborating with the City of Minneapolis and other partners on emergency preparedness and response,’ the district wrote online. 

A confrontation between ICE agents and students occurred on Wednesday outside of Roosevelt High School. 

Video footage circulated of agents allegedly using a chemical irritant on students, according to a witness. 

The teachers’ union later released a statement confirming that ICE used gas and detained a school worker while students left school on Wednesday. 

‘We will not tolerate ICE inhibiting our city’s youth from their constitutional right to attend school safely or inhibiting educators from doing their job. This is the moment to act,’ the Minneapolis Federation of Education said. 

The barricade was constructed with traffic cones, wooden palettes, and garbage cans, as seen above 

A sign leaning up against the barricade read: ‘Protect the living & honour the dead!’ 

Protesters gathered at the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building on Thursday morning, meeting with federal agents as tensions rose. The building serves as ICE’s regional headquarters.  

The standoff escalated when federal agents deployed a gas-like substance, according to CNN reporters on the scene.  

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz said in a press conference last night that Good’s death was a result of reckless governance from the Trump administration. 

Walz urged Minnesotans to remain calm and encouraged peace in the face of unrest.

‘To Minnesotans, I say this – I feel your anger. I’m angry. They want a show. We can’t give it to them. We cannot,’ he said. 

The Trump administration has defended ICE, calling the killing an act of self-defense against ‘an anti-ICE rioter who weaponized her vehicle against law enforcement.’ 

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said in a press conference that Good had attempted to run her car into an ICE officer. 

A vigil, seen above, was created on the intersection where Good was shot and killed. Signs, flowers, candles, and a cross were placed by community members at the scene 

Protests have erupted across Minnesota in the wake of Good’s death. Demonstrators clashed with federal agents outside the Bishop Henry Whipple building in Saint Paul on Thursday morning 

One community member surrounding the barricade, seen above, told CNN it was to keep cars away from the scene 

‘Our officer relied on his training and saved his own life, as well as the lives of his fellow officers,’ DHS said.

‘Sanctuary politicians have created an environment that encourages rampant assaults on law enforcement.’

Minnesota officials, along with eye witnesses, have discounted the federal government’s claims. 

Minneapolis Mayor issued a scathing message to ICE, telling agents to ‘get the f*** out of the city.
