Protestors hold signs lambasting ICE and the Trump administration Saturday during a protest at the corner of 31st Avenue and El Camino Real in San Mateo.
Protesters gathered across the Bay Area on Saturday to rally against the shootings of unarmed civilians, including the killing of a woman in Minneapolis, by federal officers.
About 450 assembled to be photographed in a human banner on Ocean Beach in San Francisco, spelling out, “It was murder, ICE out!!” — a reference to the death of Renee Nicole Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer on Wednesday.
In Mendocino County, more than 350 people attended an “ICE Out for Good” rally in Fort Bragg as part of a nationwide weekend of action organized by advocacy groups.
One sign read, “We had whistles, they had guns,” a comment attributed to Good’s wife, Becca Good.
“We’re mobilizing across the country this weekend to honor Renee Nicole Good, demand accountability for ICE’s killing of Renee, and make visible the human cost of ICE’s terror,” the grassroots network Indivisible said in a statement.
Other protests, such as at the 24th Street BART Plaza in San Francisco, took aim at the Trump administration’s war on Venezuela, including the seizure of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores.
“ICE does not keep us safe,” Nate Adams, co-chair of East Bay Democratic Socialists, said in a statement. “It cages, brutalizes, and terrorizes the most oppressed layers of the working class.”
