About 100 people marched peacefully through downtown Ithaca on Thursday, protesting the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Macklin Good by a federal immigration agent in Minneapolis, according to The Ithaca Voice.
Good, a U.S. citizen and mother of three, was unarmed and acting as a legal observer when she was shot. The Trump administration claims self-defense, but bystander videos suggest otherwise. Demonstrators lit candles, read her poetry, and condemned ongoing ICE violence.
Local officials, including a Common Council member, connected the shooting to broader concerns over immigration policy and surveillance in Tompkins County.
