MINNEAPOLIS (AP\/AZFamily)<\/b> \u2014 Protests against immigration enforcement are planned for cities and towns across Arizona and nationwide on Saturday after one federal officer fatally shot a woman<\/a> in Minneapolis and another shot and wounded two people<\/a> in Portland, Oregon.<\/p>\n

The demonstrations come as the U.S. Department of Homeland Security pushes forward in the Twin Cities with what it calls its biggest-ever immigration enforcement operation<\/a>. President Donald Trump\u2019s administration has said both shootings were acts of self-defense against drivers who \u201cweaponized\u201d their vehicles to attack officers.<\/p>\n

Indivisible, a social movement organization that formed to resist the Trump administration, said hundreds of protests were scheduled in Arizona, Texas, Kansas, New Mexico, Ohio, Florida and other states. Many were dubbed \u201cICE Out for Good\u201d using the acronym for the agency Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Indivisible and its local chapters organized protests<\/a> in all 50 states last year.<\/p>\n

On Saturday morning, hundreds of demonstrators gathered in Surprise to protest both the deadly shooting of 37-year-old Renee Good in Minneapolis and the administration as a whole. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe will show up until something changes,\u201d said Brent Peak, cochair of Northwest Valley Indivisible. \u201cThese people have been showing up many, many times over the last year through other examples of overreach, corruption, cruelty, cuts, just the chaos of this administration.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the protest, attendees chanted as drivers honked their horns as they passed by. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are fed up, we have had enough overreach of ICE in this administration,\u201d Peak said. <\/p>\n

Protesters were met with some resistance: A counter protester attended with a Trump 2024 flag and planted himself on an opposing corner, but declined to speak with Arizona\u2019s Family crews on the field. <\/p>\n

Protests are scheduled for Saturday and Sunday across Arizona<\/a>, including in Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Tucson, Flagstaff, Sedona, Prescott and more. They are among many events held in response to the deadly Minneapolis shooting. <\/p>\n

On Wednesday night, dozens gathered outside ICE headquarters in Phoenix to hold a vigil for Good. Flickering flames illuminated pictures of Good<\/a> outside the federal building as mourners expressed raw emotions of sadness, shock and anger.<\/p>\n

Arizona lawmakers have also been outspoken about the incident, with some calling for reform, while others express support for ICE.<\/a> Gov. Katie Hobbs called for a full investigation into the deadly shooting.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI hope there\u2019s a full investigation and that there is accountability for what happened,\u201d Hobbs said during an interview for Arizona\u2019s Family show Politics Unplugged.<\/p>\n

In Minneapolis, a coalition of migrant rights groups called for a demonstration at Powderhorn Park, a large green space about half a mile from where Good was shot in a residential neighborhood. They said the rally and march would celebrate Good\u2019s life<\/a> and call for an \u201cend to deadly terror on our streets.\u201d<\/p>\n

Protests held in the neighborhood so far have been peaceful, in contrast to the violence that hit Minneapolis in the aftermath of the killing of George Floyd<\/a> in 2020. Near the airport, some confrontations erupted on Thursday and Friday between smaller groups of protesters and agents guarding the federal building used as a base for the Twin Cities crackdown.<\/p>\n

The Trump administration has been surging thousands of federal officers to Minnesota under a sweeping new crackdown tied in part to allegations of fraud involving Somali residents<\/a>. More than 2,000 officers were taking part.<\/p>\n
