50501 Demands Justice for Woman Executed By ICE, Organizes Nationwide Weekend of Action

For Immediate Release

January 9th, 2026

Minneapolis, Minnesota – After ICE executed Renée Nicole Good in Minneapolis and federal agents shot two more people in Portland, the 50501 Movement is demanding the immediate abolition of ICE and is joining with a broad national coalition including MoveOn Civic Action, the American Civil Liberties Union, Voto Latino, United We Dream, Indivisible, the Disappeared in America Campaign of the Not Above the Law coalition, and partner organizations across the country to announce ICE OUT For Good, a nationwide mobilization scheduled for Saturday, January 10th, and Sunday, January 11th. In addition, 50501 is supporting rapid-response protests around the country and is organizing a letter-writing campaign to demand that Congress take action to abolish ICE and hold the regime accountable. 

State-Sponsored Domestic Terrorism

ICE is engaged in nothing less than state-sponsored domestic terrorism. In Minneapolis on January 7th, ICE agent Jonathan Ross murdered Renée Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, in front of her wife, and he and other ICE agents on the scene prevented a physician from rendering aid. Just one night later in Portland, Oregon, federal agents shot two other individuals, and while details are still forthcoming, local officials are calling for full accountability in what appears to be another unnecessary, violent event. 

Renée Nicole Good and the Portland victims are just the most recent victims of ICE’s reign of terror. ICE has brutalized communities for decades, but its violence under the Trump regime has accelerated. Marginalized communities have taken the brunt of their force; in 2025, at least 32 people died in ICE custody. This past September, ICE shot and killed Silverio Villegas González, a father and cook from Mexico who was living in Chicago. In that same city, a Border Patrol agent celebrated after repeatedly shooting and injuring Marimar Martinez. The American people have had enough. 

Local Organizers Respond

“When ICE descended on the Twin Cities at the start of December, thousands of regular people organized a robust, non-violent safety network to protect our neighbors, because our elected officials and so-called law enforcement failed to act,” said Marie Purcell of Veterans for Peace. “Today, our worst fears were realized. Since the police murdered George Floyd, Minnesotans have known that the only people who keep us safe are us. ICE and agencies at all levels of government are willing to hurt and kill any one of us to keep their power. It's not going to stop until we band together to dismantle the systems designed to oppress us.”

“They have literally started killing us—enough is enough,” said Drew Harmon of Minnesota 50501. “We are a peaceful and community-oriented state that will not allow the violent ICE secret police to continue kidnapping our neighbors and killing our friends. Immediately after the shooting, hundreds of Minnesotans gathered to respond on site, just as we did in 2020 after officer Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd. ICE must be removed from Minnesota and permanently abolished.” 

Abolish ICE

“What we saw today in Minneapolis was state-sponsored murder perpetrated by an untrained, fascist paramilitary unit,” said 50501 spokesperson and veteran Logan Keith. “This blood is on the hands of Donald Trump, Kristi Noem, and Greg Bovino. Local officials should be directing their police departments and National Guard units to remove ICE from their towns and protect their communities. A federal agency is now openly targeting, attacking, and killing American citizens in cold blood. This must end now.”

The regime has made it abundantly clear that it will use any force necessary to violently attack those with whom it disagrees, whether bombing foreign countries or opening fire in the streets of an American city against non-violent protesters or passersby in broad daylight. 

“ICE has invaded our cities, assaulted immigrant communities, and thrown our neighbors into concentration camps,” said 50501 National Press Coordinator Hunter Dunn. “This is yet another atrocity committed by the American government against its people. Any legislator who does not immediately move to abolish ICE is a traitor who has sold out their country to fascism.” 

ICE OUT For Good

50501, in conjunction with the Disappeared in America coalition, is calling upon everyday people across the country to take to the streets in nonviolent protest on Saturday, January 10th and Sunday, January 11th, to demand the permanent removal of ICE from communities around the country, the arrest of Jonathan Ross for the murder of Renée Nicole Good, and justice for every victim of ICE. At the same time, 50501 is demanding the immediate abolition of ICE and is supporting rapid-response protests taking place across the country in solidarity with Minneapolis.

50501 is also organizing a letter-writing campaign to demand that Congress pass a resolution to abolish the Department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and immediately impeach and indict complicit members of the Trump regime.
