'ICE Out For Good' Protest — News

On January 10, 2026, approximately 1,000 demonstrators gathered at Washington Square Park in Salt Lake City, Utah, for a protest organized under the banner “ICE Out for Good.” The event was part of a nationwide mobilization following the death of Renee Nicole Good, a 37‑year‑old mother of three who was fatally shot by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Minneapolis. The protest was organized by Salt Lake Indivisible and supported by local groups including the Utah Progressive Caucus, the Salt Lake City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America, and Mecha de U. The rally began shortly after 2:00 PM and included speeches, chants, and a march around the perimeter of Washington Square Park. Protesters held signs reading “Justice for Renee Nicole Good,” “Abolish ICE,” and “ICE Out for Good.” Organizers described the demonstration as a coordinated response to what they called a pattern of violence by federal immigration authorities. Good was shot while seated in her maroon Honda Pilot during an ICE operation in a residential neighborhood of Minneapolis. Federal officials claimed the agent acted in self‑defense, but Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz publicly disputed that account, citing video evidence that showed Good posed no immediate threat. The shooting occurred near East 34th Street and Portland Avenue, blocks from the site of George Floyd’s 2020 killing, amplifying public scrutiny and emotional resonance. The Salt Lake protest remained peaceful and concluded with a lineup of demonstrators in front of the Third District Court building. Speakers emphasized solidarity with Minneapolis and called for legislative oversight of ICE operations. Sarah Buck, a local organizer, stated, “We’re here to demand accountability and to say that ICE has no place in our communities.” All images © Charles‑McClintock Wilson / ZUMA Press Wire
