Renee Nicole Good was on the Minneapolis street where she was shot dead to join a protest against Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s crackdown in the area, her wife suggested Friday.
“On Wednesday, January 7th, we stopped to support our neighbors. We had whistles. They had guns,” Rebecca Good said in a statement, according to the Washington Post.
Whistles are used by a local activist group, ICE Watch, to alert different neighborhoods of possible ICE operations.
“We were raising our son to believe that no matter where you come from or what you look like, all of us deserve compassion and kindness,” the wife also said.
“Renee lived this belief every day. She is pure love. She is pure joy. She is pure sunshine.”
Renee and Rebecca had moved to Minnesota within the past year, and area activists told The Post she was part of an effort to “document and resist” the ICE crackdown.
