Several dozen protestors showed up outside the Eureka courthouse this afternoon to protest yesterday’s killing of Renee Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Minneapolis.

The protestors, mostly retirement-age, took up most of a street corner and waved a variety of signs. Plenty of passing motorists honked. 

One attendee, a 20-year-old No Kings organizer who goes by A.J., said the killing made her “terrified.” Others there agreed. 

“It could happen to anyone — anyone who’s protesting,” she told the Outpost. “We’re not just going to let that happen…this is part of a bigger message to ICE that we are not OK with them being in our cities. This is like the shot heard ‘round the world — the second time…They are now killing us citizens at point-blank range for no reason. This was murder.”

There was also a small protest that happened in the same place yesterday, also about the Minnesota killing. 

A group of singers who call themselves the Humboldt Ragin’ Grannies performed a few anti-ICE songs. One of them, written by a woman named Beth, was a Christmas parody:

You’d better watch out / You better comply / You’d better not doubt, I’m telling you why / The I-C-E is all over town / They’ll go where you are working / and say your papers are fake / and before you call your lawyer / They’ll deport you from the state.

Despite the grim topic, hopes were high. 

“Together we’re going to turn this around,” said one woman with a megaphone in one hand and a guitar in the other. “People like us are gathering right now everywhere. I’ll see you guys out here more, I know, because we’re going to do this. We’re not going to stop.”
