Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mom, was fatally shot in the head by and ICE agent in Minneapolis Wednesday
Leading Democrats’ virulent anti-ICE rhetoric ramped up Thursday — the day after a Minneapolis mom was killed by an immigration officer — with Gov. Hochul chiming in that she once confronted a federal agent, and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey doubling own on his calls for federal agents to “get the f–k out” of town.
Gov. Tim Walz, meanwhile, activated the Minnesota National Guard and complained about the FBI taking over the investigation from Minnesota.
He also claimed “the tragedy will be magnified 100-fold,” if ICE “violence” enters local schools.
The comments come as anti-ICE protests have raged in Minneapolis, New York and other cities — with hundreds filling the streets first-thing Thursday to march against the killing of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old activist shot in the head by a federal agent after she veered her car toward him.
Those demonstrations started almost immediately after the shooting and demanded ICE abandon its sweeping operations in the city, with Mayor Frey making no effort to hide his support for cause within hours.
“To ICE, get the f–k out of Minneapolis. We do not want you here,” he said in a fiery press conference Wednesday.
On Thursday, he refused to dial his tone back after conservatives accused him of provoking tensions.
“I’m so sorry if I offended their Disney princess ears, but here’s the thing — if we’re talking about what’s inflammatory, on one hand you got someone who dropped an f-bomb, and you got someone who killed somebody else,” he told CNN Wednesday night.
