READ MORE:<\/strong> ‘We had whistles. They had guns,’ says wife of Minnesota woman killed by ICE agent<\/a><\/p>\nSteven Eubanks, 51, said he felt compelled to attend a protest in Durham, North Carolina, on Saturday because of the “horrifying” killing of Good in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n
“We can’t allow it,” Eubanks said. “We have to stand up.”<\/p>\n
Indivisible, a social movement organization that formed to resist the Trump administration, said hundreds of protests were scheduled in Texas, Kansas, New Mexico, Ohio, Florida and other states.<\/p>\n
ICE activity across Minneapolis<\/p>\n
In Minneapolis, a coalition of migrant rights groups organized the demonstration that began in a park about half a mile from the residential neighborhood where the 37-year-old Good was shot on Wednesday. Marchers carried signs calling for ICE to leave and voiced support for Good and immigrants.<\/p>\n
A couple of miles away, just as the demonstration began, an Associated Press photographer witnessed heavily armed officers \u2014 at least one in Border Patrol uniform \u2014 approach a person who had been following them. Two of the agents had long guns out when they ordered the person to stop following them, telling him it was his “first and final warning.”<\/p>\n
The agents eventually drove onto the interstate without detaining the driver.<\/p>\n
Protests held in the neighborhood have been largely peaceful, in contrast to the violence that hit Minneapolis in the\u00a0aftermath of the killing of George Floyd\u00a0in 2020. Near the airport, some confrontations erupted on Thursday and Friday between smaller groups of protesters and officers guarding the federal building used as a base for the Twin Cities crackdown.<\/p>\n
O’Hara said city police officers have responded to calls about cars abandoned because their drivers have been apprehended by immigration enforcement. In one case, the car was left in park and in another case a dog was left in the vehicle.<\/p>\n
He said immigration enforcement activities are happening “all over the city” and that 911 callers have been alerting authorities to ICE activity, arrests and abandoned vehicles.<\/p>\n
The Trump administration has deployed thousands of federal officers to Minnesota under a sweeping new crackdown tied in part to\u00a0allegations of fraud involving Somali residents. More than 2,000 officers were taking part.<\/p>\n
Some officers moved in after\u00a0abruptly pulling out of Louisiana,\u00a0where they were part of\u00a0another operation\u00a0that started last month and was expected to last until February.<\/p>\n
Lawmakers snubbed<\/p>\n
Three congresswomen from Minnesota attempted to tour the ICE facility in the Minneapolis federal building on Saturday morning and were initially allowed to enter but then told they had to leave about 10 minutes later.<\/p>\n
U.S, Reps. Ilhan Omar, Kelly Morrison and Angie Craig accused ICE agents of obstructing members of Congress from fulfilling their duty to oversee operations there.<\/p>\n
“They do not care that they are violating federal law,” Craig said after being turned away.<\/p>\n
A federal judge last month\u00a0temporarily blocked\u00a0the Trump administration from enforcing policies that limit congressional visits to immigration facilities. The ruling stems from a lawsuit filed by 12 members of Congress who\u00a0sued in Washington, D.C.\u00a0to challenge ICE’s amended visitor policies after they were denied entry to detention facilities.<\/p>\n
