Hours after an ICE agent fatally shot Renee Nicole Good on a snowy Minnesota street, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said he’d been worried just such a thing might happen ever since the Trump administration made his city the latest focus of its aggressive immigration crackdown.
“We have stated that something like this, where either a civilian, a police officer or even an ICE agent was going to get badly injured or killed,” he told CNN recently. “Tragically, it’s happened.”
And it has happened elsewhere. At least 11 people have been shot by federal immigration agents since September, including a Venezuelan man and woman on Thursday in Portland, Oregon. Unless something changes, there will almost certainly be more.
