Based on information available as of this moment (Saturday, January 10, 2026), the United States has witnessed approximately 1,000 demonstrations in response to the killing of Renee Nicole Goode.
- Scale and Locations of Demonstrations.
The U.S. is witnessing a massive wave of coordinated protests under the banner “ICE Out for Good” (a play on her surname and a demand to oust the immigration agency). Reports indicate hundreds of demonstrations (with some sources estimating over 1,000 events) nationwide throughout this weekend.
Key cities that have seen or are seeing protests:
- Minneapolis, MN (Epicenter): The largest and most sustained protests, specifically at Powderhorn Park and in front of federal buildings.
- Philadelphia, PA: Marches toward federal detention centers.
- Indianapolis, IN: Hundreds gathered at Monument Circle.
- Austin and Pflugerville, TX.
- Portland, OR: Witnessed violent protests and another shooting related to the protests.
- Fayetteville and Durham, NC.
- Santa Barbara, CA.
- Atlanta, GA.
- Champaign, IL.
- Plus events in: Florida, Ohio, Kansas, New Mexico, and Michigan.
- Calls to Protest Today or Tomorrow.
Today (Saturday, January 10, 2026): This is considered the main National Day of Action. Organizations like “Indivisible” and immigrant rights coalitions called for mobilization in all 50 states. Demonstrations are taking place right now (at the time of writing) in main squares and outside federal buildings.
Tomorrow (Sunday, January 11, 2026): Protests and vigils are expected to continue in many cities, particularly in Minneapolis and Portland, due to the significant momentum and rapid developments, even though Saturday was the scheduled central mobilization day.
- Quick Background (Context).
The Incident: Renee Nicole Goode (37, poet and mother) was killed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) fire on Wednesday, January 7, in Minneapolis while inside her vehicle.
Reason for Outrage: There is a stark conflict in narratives; the Trump administration labeled her a “domestic terrorist” who attempted to run over agents, while her family and circulating videos insist she was trying to drive away and the shooting was aggressive and unjustified. Additionally, the victim was a U.S. citizen and a member of the LGBTQ+ community, which broadened the scope of solidarity with her.

"Liberalism manifests itself in various ways.
(…)
To indulge in irresponsible criticism in private instead of actively putting forward one’s suggestions to the organization. (…) To show no regard at all for the principles of collective life but to follow one’s own inclination. This is a second type [of liberalism].
(…)
To indulge in personal attacks, pick quarrels, vent personal spite or seek revenge instead of entering into an argument and struggling against incorrect views for the sake of unity or progress or getting the work done properly. This is a fifth type.
(…)
To be among the masses and fail to conduct propaganda and agitation or speak at meetings or conduct investigations and inquiries among them, and instead to be indifferent to them and show no concern for their well-being, forgetting that one is a Communist and behaving as if one were an ordinary non-Communist. This is a seventh type.
(…)
To regard oneself as having rendered great service to the revolution, to pride oneself on being a veteran, to disdain minor assignments while being quite unequal to major tasks, to be slipshod in work and slack in study. This is a tenth type." - Mao
In all seriousness, you’re more of a liberal than the people organising these protests.
You have advanced political consciouness, but if you refuse to use that to organise the people around you, it might as well not exist.
Blah blah blah aren’t you wasting time talking when you could be milling around with a sign
I’m consoling a politically depressed comrade while pointing out their duties at the same time. That’s certainly usefull. I hope you’ll think about the message of the chairman when you find the space. Good luck!
