Thousands of people protested against US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Minneapolis on Saturday, following the death of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, who was shot by an ICE agent on Wednesday. The protests were largely peaceful, but 30 people were arrested over the weekend, and one police officer suffered minor injuries. The incident has sparked a political divide, with the Trump administration claiming the agent acted in self-defense, while local officials insist Good posed no danger. The shooting has also raised concerns about ICE's presence in Minnesota and the agency's operations.

The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has intensified its immigration crackdown under President Donald Trump's administration, marked by aggressive arrests, a social media blitz, and crackdowns on protesters. Critics accuse authorities of deploying dangerous tactics that put people at risk, while officials argue they are taking necessary steps to keep Americans safe. The article highlights several instances of aggressive arrests, including the use of force against individuals, some of whom were later released without charges. The DHS has also been using masked officers, which critics say shields them from accountability, while officials claim it protects their safety. The administration's goal of 3,000 arrests per day has been cited as a reason for the increasingly combative tactics.

Billionaire Bill Ackman donated $10,000 to a GoFundMe page for Jonathan Ross, an ICE agent who fatally shot Renee Nicole Good during an anti-ICE protest in Minneapolis. Ackman stated that he supported Ross because he believed in the principle of being innocent until proven guilty and intended to also support Good's family, but their GoFundMe page had closed by the time he attempted to donate. The incident occurred when Good allegedly tried to use her vehicle against ICE agents, clipping Ross, who then fired shots at her. The GoFundMe for Ross received over $270,000 in donations after Ackman's contribution, while Good's family had received over $1.5 million before their page was closed.

The article criticizes Minneapolis Public Schools for allowing remote attendance for students due to ICE activities, claiming it's a case of performative politics that prioritizes teachers' unions' interests over students' education. The author argues that this decision, backed by the Minneapolis Federation of Educators, is part of a broader trend where teachers' unions prioritize left-wing politics over education, exacerbating learning loss from pandemic school shutdowns.
