The killing of Renee Nicole Good by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in an otherwise quiet South Minneapolis neighborhood on Wednesday was just the latest in a string of violent attacks on local residents by immigration officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cImmediately after, the same masked agents were faced with our grieving neighbors, rightfully demanding justice for a murder committed in our streets, and only continued to escalate,\u201d said<\/a> Minneapolis Council member Aisha Chughtai in a post after arriving at the scene on Thursday. \u201cThey shoved people to the ground, drove recklessly into crowds and deployed chemical irritants.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shooting follows a clear pattern of violence in cities with Democratic Party mayors across the country: Immigration police enter neighborhoods to aggressively arrest people off the street, including<\/a> many<\/a> U.S. citizens,<\/a> and clash with concerned residents and local activists, then blame the victims<\/a> when people get hurt or killed.<\/p>
