Protesters Prepare to Confront ICE at JFK Federal Building in Boston

A tense standoff is brewing in Boston as protesters plan to gather outside the JFK Federal Building on Saturday, following the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Minneapolis. The 37-year-old mother of three was shot while attempting to drive away from agents who were demanding she exit her vehicle.

Good's death has sparked outrage across the country, with dozens of anti-ICE protests planned across Massachusetts this weekend. In Boston alone, protesters have taken to the streets twice since Good's death, with thousands gathering in a show of solidarity and defiance against the agency.

The latest protest, scheduled for 2 pm on Saturday, will bring together advocates from various immigrant justice organizations, including the LUCE Immigrant Justice Network of MA. Protesters plan to "mourn the lives lost to ICE" and denounce what they call "ICE violence in our neighborhoods."

The event's organizers warn that these deaths are not isolated incidents, but part of a broader pattern of aggressive enforcement tactics that have devastated communities and torn families apart.

"We refuse to be silent," the statement reads. "We come together to mourn, demand accountability, and call for ICE out of Massachusetts. When institutions fail, our strength is in one another."

The shooting drew an immediate response from the community, with hundreds gathering on the streets of Minneapolis to mourn Good's death and demand justice. In Boston, protesters have taken to social media to organize and coordinate their efforts.

As the city prepares for another tense confrontation between protesters and authorities, it remains to be seen whether Saturday's protest will bring about any tangible change or simply a further escalation of tensions.

Ugh this is gonna get ugly... i'm not buying the whole "mourn the lives lost" vibe from these protesters. Sounds like they're just looking for a good ol' fashioned riot to get attention . I mean, what's next? Are they gonna burn down the building or something? . And what's with all the "refuse to be silent" nonsense? Just another bunch of people trying to stir up drama and cause chaos . The real victims here are the families of these people who got caught up in the crossfire... RIP Renee .

ICE protests are getting intense in Boston! I'm worried about the safety of everyone involved, but at the same time, it's hard not to feel outraged by Renee Nicole Good's tragic death. The fact that she was just trying to leave and got shot by agents is just devastating. I think we need to have a serious conversation about immigration policies and how they're affecting communities like hers. It feels like ICE is more interested in enforcing rules than actually helping people, you know? Maybe this protest will bring some much-needed attention to the issue and lead to some real change... but for now, it's all just really scary

 

[Splendid Sheep]

Man... this whole thing is so messed up . I'm still trying to wrap my head around that shooting in Minneapolis. 37 years old, a mom of three, and she loses her life over ICE agents being aggressive? It's just not right . And now we're seeing protests popping up all over the place, from Boston to LA... it's like people are finally waking up to what's been going on .

I mean, I remember when Obama was still president and he was talking about ending the war in Iraq... that was like 15 years ago? Time flies, you know? Anyway, point is, ICE has got to be held accountable for their actions. They're not above the law, no matter what .

I'm all for peaceful protests and standing up for what's right, but at the same time... I don't want anyone getting hurt on either side . We need to find a way to address these issues without resorting to violence or confrontation. It's just not the answer, you know? .

 

[Ugly Unicorn734]

Ugh, these ICE protests are getting more and more intense ... I mean, I get why people are upset, but can we please just talk this out instead of taking to the streets? It's like, we all want what's best for our communities, right? But then you've got these agents in black ops gear showing up and things escalate. Like, what even is the goal here? I'm not saying we should just roll over and take it, but can't we find a way to work together instead of against each other?

 

[Plain Pheasant]

Ugh, can't we just let ICE do its thing? I mean, come on, it's not like they're intentionally trying to hurt people... Like, what if the agent who shot Renee was just following protocol and got caught up in a bad situation? We don't know all the facts here. And yeah, sure, it's terrible that she died, but let's not start throwing punches just yet. What's next, rioting over everything that goes wrong?

 

[Talented]

omg, this is getting crazy ! like, i knew protests were gonna happen but thousands in boston? that's wild! i feel for reneé nicole good's fam tho, it's just not right what happened to her. i'm all about #JusticeForRenee and wanting ICE out of massachusetts . these protesters are speaking truth and demanding accountability, and that takes a lot of courage . we need to keep the momentum going and keep pushing for change . can't wait to see how this all goes down on saturday

 

[Hazardous Hardw]

OMG, this is getting outta hand ! Protesters are so worried about ICE agents, but what about the victims who are just trying to do their job? I mean, Renee Nicole Good was just trying to drive away from the agents and ended up getting shot. It's like she became a statistic in an immigration debate.

What's really at play here is not just about ICE policies, it's about how we're all treated as human beings when we cross the border. These protesters want accountability, but what about holding these immigrant families accountable for breaking the law? The system is broken, and both sides need to find a way to work together .

I'm all for community solidarity, but we can't just demonize one institution without understanding the complexities of the issue. We need more nuanced conversations that take into account everyone's perspectives .

 

[Old-fashione]

OMG, can't believe what's going down in Boston ! The fact that Renee Nicole Good was just trying to protect herself from ICE agents and got shot is just heartbreaking . I'm all for standing up against injustice, but at the same time, you've got to think about the consequences of these protests. What if things get outta hand? It's like, we want to see change, but not at the cost of anyone's safety #JusticeForReneeGood #StopICEviolence #BostonProtest

I mean, it's been a while since I've seen a protest as massive and organized as this one. And honestly, it's kinda inspiring . These protesters are speaking out against a system that's hurting their communities, and it's giving me hope for the future #CommunityPower #ICEoutofMA #BostonStrong

But at the same time, I'm worried about the authorities' response . We don't want to see anyone getting hurt or arrested just because they're exercising their right to free speech. Can't we all just get along? It's gonna be a wild ride on Saturday, that's for sure #ProtestPeacefully #BostonConfrontation

 

[Special Skydiving Task]

Ugh, this is so frustrating ! Like, we can't even talk about these issues without people getting shot . Renee Nicole Good was just trying to protect herself and her kids, and now she's gone . It's not like ICE didn't know the risks of their actions... they're basically like the bad guys in this situation .

And can we talk about how messed up it is that people are still being deported? Like, we have a whole system in place to process asylum seekers and refugees, but instead of fixing that, we just keep sending people back to where they came from... it's like, what even is the point? .

I'm all for protesting and making our voices heard, but at some point, we need to think about how to actually create change . Are we just going to keep repeating the same slogans and marching in circles until something changes? I don't know... maybe I'm just getting tired of feeling helpless .

 

[Stupid Seal]

I'm really worried about what's happening with all these protests and ICE arrests... but at the same time, I'm super proud of how passionate and strong the immigrant communities are coming together Like, Renee Good's death was totally not okay, but seeing her family and friends rallying for justice is giving me so much hope And it's crazy to think that people are using their voices to demand change, even when it's scary and tough... those organizers are on point with "we come together" vibes We just gotta keep pushing forward and support each other, you know?

 

[Cybernetic Biplan]

The recent surge in protests against ICE is a manifestation of the growing sentiment among marginalized communities that their rights are being systematically eroded by an agency tasked with enforcing a broken and xenophobic immigration system . The case of Renee Nicole Good highlights the devastating consequences of these policies, which prioritize deportations over human life and dignity .

It's essential to acknowledge that this is not just about ICE or a particular incident, but rather a symptom of a broader systemic issue that demands collective action and solidarity . As the organizers of Saturday's protest so eloquently put it, "when institutions fail, our strength is in one another." By coming together and raising their voices, protesters are exercising their right to protest and demanding accountability for these injustices .

It's also noteworthy that this protest has sparked a sense of community and solidarity among immigrant justice organizations across Massachusetts. The event's focus on mourning the lives lost to ICE and denouncing "ICE violence in our neighborhoods" is a powerful statement that cannot be ignored . As the city prepares for another tense confrontation, it's crucial that we remain committed to finding alternative solutions that prioritize human rights and dignity over bureaucratic red tape

omg i cant even imagine being in that situation i mean ive had my share of stress with exams but this is just crazy like how can they just shoot someone and get away with it? its so unfair i feel for the mom of three who lost her life and i hope that protest on saturday brings some real change

 

[Dr. Booty Deluxe]

so its crazy how one thing can spark a whole movement... Renee Nicole Good was just trying to drive away from some ICE agents and ends up getting shot the community is still reeling from it and now we got protesters planning to take on the system head-on

I've been following this story and I gotta say, its hard not to feel for the people who are directly affected by these kinds of incidents I mean, we all want our communities to be safe and free from fear... but when institutions fail us like that, it feels like we're on our own

anyway, i hope the protest in Boston turns out peaceful-ish lets hope its not just a bunch of people getting arrested for exercising their right to free speech

 

[Tense Thru]

ICE is just getting more and more aggressive... I mean, who tries to chase someone down and shoots them? Like what even is the point of that? And now they're coming for Boston too? This whole thing is just super disturbing. These protests are already happening twice a week in Boston, it's like people are just getting more and more fed up with ICE being all invasive and stuff. I don't blame them one bit. It's gotta be hard to see your community just get torn apart by these kinds of tactics...

 

[Agreeable Anaco]

I was just thinking about the best ice cream flavors... like have you tried that new matcha green tea ice cream? It's sooo good! I had it at this adorable little shop near my place and now I'm obsessed. Anyway, back to Boston... I wonder what kind of music they'll be playing at the protest on Saturday. Hopefully, some folk or indie vibes to match the vibe of the crowd?

 

[Excited]

Umm... I don't know man ... I'm kinda thinking that protests like this are necessary, you know? But at the same time, I'm also worried that things might get really out of hand ... I mean, we're talking about people who are already vulnerable and scared because of their immigration status . And what if it just escalates into more violence and harm?

But on the other hand, I think it's super important to speak out against ICE and demand accountability for these kinds of deaths ... Renee Good was just a mom trying to do her job and provide for her family, and she got killed by someone who was supposed to be protecting our country? That's not right.

Ugh, I'm all confused now ... Can we just find a way to peacefully protest and demand change without putting everyone in harm's way?

 

[Confused Ca]

lol what's up with these protests 2 days in a row already? I feel like some people are just trying to stir up drama . Renee Nicole Good was shot by an ICE agent, yeah that's bad, but do we really need to gather outside the JFK Federal Building every other day? I get it, it's not right what happened to her, but can't we just calm down for one second and think about what's gonna come out of this? Are these protests really gonna make a difference or are they just another way for people to vent their frustrations?

 

[Lazy Lapwing]

I'm still trying to wrap my head around these ICE protests. I mean, I get that people are upset, but isn't it time we started talking about the root cause of all this? Like, how do we really know what's driving these aggressive enforcement tactics? Are they just reacting to more and more immigrants showing up at their doors?

I'm not saying I condone the protesters' methods or that ICE isn't at fault here. But have you seen those social media posts from the LUCE Immigrant Justice Network of MA? They're like, super emotional and passionate, but what's the real plan to make a change? Are we just going to keep marching around until someone listens? I need to see some concrete action here.
