LAKEPORT, Calif. — A large group of protesters gathered on Saturday morning in Lakeport as part of a nationwide outcry over the shooting of a Minneapolis woman by a federal immigration agent.
The “ICE Out for Good” rally drew an estimated 100 Lake County protesters.
Participants lined the overpass on Lakeport Boulevard at Highway 29 in response to the shooting death on Jan. 7 of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good — a wife and mother of three — by a United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent.
A coalition of groups including Indivisible, MoveOn Civic Action, the American Civil Liberties Union, Voto Latino, United We Dream, 50501, the Disappeared in America Campaign of the Not Above the Law coalition mobilized protests nationwide on Saturday and Sunday as part of the ICE Out For Good Weekend of Action.
The coalition reported that after calling for the protests on Friday, 1,000 such protests were quickly organized across the country over the weekend.
The Indivisible Lake County group organized the Lakeport event.
Organizers said they were encouraged by the shows of support expressed by passing motorists honking their horns.
Indivisible Lake County organized several protests last year, including the “Hands Off” protest in April, “No Kings” rallies in June and October, and an anti-fascism rally in August, all in Lakeport, and a Labor Day weekend event in Middletown.
