In New York City this weekend, demonstrators gathered near 26 Federal Plaza — a frequent site of ICE raids — chanting “No hate, no fear, immigrants are welcome here,” and pressing for justice for Renee Good’s family while calling for the abolishment of the immigration agency after she was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. Protesters like Paige Francis and Rosalinda Romporto, who moved from Minneapolis, said the city is “very community-oriented,” which they believe explains the strong responses there and in Minneapolis, according to CBS News New York.
Across the U.S., outrage at the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement tactics has led to ongoing demonstrations throughout 2025, with marches and rallies opposing aggressive ICE raids and demanding systemic change. These protests have also prompted major demonstrations in Minneapolis and other cities seeking accountability for Good’s death.
Protests in Lower Manhattan have called for justice for Renee Good, who was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, and for changes to U.S. immigration enforcement. Organizers like Samantha Fujikawa and participants, including Beth Rogers, expressed concern over current federal policies and called for protections for affected communities. President Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem have said the agent acted in self-defense, though witness videos have raised questions about the incident. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani affirmed the city’s sanctuary policies, saying, “We know that when ICE agents attack immigrants, they attack every single one of us across this country,” as investigations into the shooting continue and protests persist, as reported by AMNY.
