Here in the U.S., tens of thousands of people took to the streets over the weekend as protests against ICE spread nationwide following the fatal shooting of Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother of three killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis last week. Thousands of protests led by the ”ICE Out for Good” campaign took place in towns and major U.S. cities, including New York, Portland and the Los Angeles area, where activists also held a vigil for Keith Porter Jr., an African American 43-year-old father of two, who was fatally shot by an off-duty ICE agent on New Year’s Eve. His family is demanding transparency in the investigation into his killing. Here are voices from the anti-ICE protest this weekend in Boston.

Maia: “It infuriates me. It breaks my heart to see another woman killed and to see so many families torn apart. And I can’t be quiet about that, so…”

Lydia: “Neither can I. We” —

Maia: “Yeah, of course.”

Lydia: “The line was” —

Maia: “Given the opportunity” —

Lydia: “Right. The line was George Floyd. And Renee Good’s murder is just
showing how far we have crossed that line. And I think that these men need to be held accountable.”

This comes as Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has vowed to deploy hundreds more federal agents to Minneapolis in response to the protests.
