FORT WORTH, Texas — Protesters in Fort Worth and Southlake took to the streets this week, joining a growing national movement sparked by a deadly shooting involving an ICE agent in Minneapolis.
Armed with signs and emotion, demonstrators gathered to voice outrage over the death of 37-year-old Renée Nicole Good, a mother and community member who was shot and killed earlier this week during an encounter with ICE in Minnesota.
Among those in Fort Worth were Randy and Noah Garms, who said they felt compelled to speak out.
“A loss of life is always tragic,” Randy Garms said.
Others echoed similar sentiments, saying video of the incident only intensified their anger.
“What happened was uncalled for, it was filmed,” Noah Garms said.
Federal officials said an ICE agent shot Good after authorities say she used her vehicle as a weapon. President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance have said the agent acted in self-defense.
The shooting has sparked protests nationwide under the banner “ICE Out for Good,” with demonstrations taking place in cities across the country including North Texas.
In Fort Worth, protesters said the moment felt deeply personal.
“My stomach is really in a knot right now,” said Ryan Vancleave. “I feel like it’s important to be out here and be supportive and face the facts of what’s happening.”
Similar scenes unfolded in Southlake, where demonstrators criticized both the shooting itself and how it unfolded.
“It was totally, totally wrong on so many levels,” one protester said. “Standing in front of a car, pulling your gun while you’re holding your phone.”
Across locations, demonstrators said their message was consistent: accountability.
“She was a regular person,” one protester said. “And this should not be happening.”
Whether in Minnesota or Texas, protesters say they are calling for a broader reckoning and what they describe as meaningful accountability following Renée Nicole Good’s death.
