North Coast Resistance - Downtown Nehalem Saturday Jan. 10 - Noon to 2pm
"When you see something that is not right, not fair, not just, you have to speak up. You have to say something; you have to do something." -- John Lewis
This weekend, Americans are taking to the streets to honor Renee Nicole Good -- and to demand justice for her murder by an ICE agent.
This tragedy did not happen in a vacuum. It is the result of an out-of-control agency emboldened to act without restraint -- with 12,000 new agents rushed to the streets in just four months through shoddy hiring and training time slashed by three-quarters. Poorly trained and poorly vetted, they are terrorizing communities with effective impunity, facing no consequences for abuse or violence against immigrants and citizens alike.
In Minneapolis, an eyewitness to the shooting said, "People in our neighborhood have been terrorized by ICE for six weeks." Similar scenes have played out across the country -- raids conducted with overwhelming force, families ripped apart, communities gripped by fear. And now a U.S. citizen, a mother of three, has lost her life simply because she was caring for her neighbors.
The Trump administration shields these agents unconditionally. In October, Border Patrol agent Charles Exum shot Marimar Martinez -- a 30-year-old U.S. citizen and teaching assistant -- five times in Chicago as she warned her neighbors that ICE was in the area. Video later showed it was the agents who rammed her car, not the other way around as DHS claimed, and charges against Martinez were dropped. Exum faced no discipline. Instead, he bragged in a group chat: "I fired 5 shots and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys." When told he was being deployed to another city, he replied: "Cool. I'm up for another round of f*ck around and find out."
And now, when agents kill, the Trump administration actively obstructs any outside investigation. This week, the administration took the unprecedented step of blocking Minnesota state investigators from examining Renee's death. The FBI informed the state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension that the U.S. Attorney's Office had "reversed course" just hours after agreeing to a joint investigation.
Her death will now be investigated solely by an administration whose officials have already denounced Renee as a "domestic terrorist" and called the shooting justified. Vance, who monstrously blamed Renee for her own death, declared yesterday that the agent is "protected by absolute immunity," drawing harsh rebukes from legal experts. The cover-up is already underway.
The Supreme Court has blocked civil suits as well, meaning citizens cannot sue ICE or Border Patrol agents for violating their constitutional rights. There is no avenue left for justice -- not through the courts, not through Congress, not through the administration itself.
This is what unchecked power looks like. Americans will not stand for it.
We demand justice for Renee. We demand accountability from our government. This weekend, stand up and speak out -- for Renee, for her family, for the communities being terrorized, and for the future of our country.
