Washington, D.C. – Yesterday, following the federal government’s deployment of 2,000 immigration agents to Minneapolis in recent weeks and escalating efforts to target the city’s immigrant communities, an immigration agent brutally shot and killed an unarmed Minneapolis woman in her car. United We Dream released the following statement:
“We are outraged and heartbroken by yesterday’s tragedy, and our hearts are with the city of Minneapolis and Renee Nicole Good’s loved ones who are mourning such a deep and painful loss. Using your first amendment rights to speak out and show up for your neighbors during the growing anti-immigrant violence in our cities should be a protected constitutional right, not a death sentence.
This brutal killing is a horrifying reminder of the threat armed forces pose to our collective safety, especially at a time when local, state and federal officials have consistently called on the federal government to invest in the resources working families truly need —health care, housing, access to food— instead of indiscriminate terror in our communities. In 2025 alone, 32 people died in immigration detention.
Billions poured into immigration raids for the sake of ripping apart communities in cities like Los Angeles, Chicago and Minneapolis does nothing but lead to irreparable damage, violence and death. We demand an immediate end to this cruelty and for elected leaders at every level to speak out in defense of immigrant communities and our shared safety.”
