Rev. Al Sharpton Denounces ICE Killing of Renee Good at MLK Day Rally

HeadlineJan 20, 2026

On Monday, the Rev. Al Sharpton held a Martin Luther King Day rally in Harlem. He denounced the ICE killing of Renee Good in Minneapolis.

Rev. Al Sharpton: “If she cursed him out, does that give them the right to shoot her? And they’re now talking about sending in National Guard, sending in more ICE agents, sending 1,500. We are in a state that Dr. King would have been fighting against this country going this far.”

Sharpton also criticized Trump for canceling free admission at national parks on MLK Day and on Juneteenth. Instead, park entrance fees are now waived on June 14 — President Trump’s birthday.
