A labor-led coalition plans a protest outside the Edward J. Schwartz Federal Building on Thursday to demand an end to violence and inhumane treatment of immigrants by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement.
The protest comes one day after the fatal shooting of a 37-year-old woman by an ICE officer in an immigration-related operation in Minneapolis.
“Protesters in San Diego are calling for an end to violent, out-of- control immigration operations with ICE raiding communities and tearing families apart,” a statement from SEIU Local 221 said. The local represents more than 12,000 workers in San Diego and Imperial counties.
“The San Diego group says fear, displacement and dehumanizing politics used to attack and kill working people must stop.”
San Diego County Board of Supervisors Terra Lawson-Remer and Paloma Aguirre are scheduled to attend the demonstration, along with members of multiple labor and activist organizations including as the San Diego & Imperial Counties Labor Council AFL-CIO, Unión del Barrio and San Diego Education Association.
The Edward J. Schwartz Federal Building was chosen as the site for the demonstration because ICE has a detention center there.
Renee Nicole Good, 37, was killed while attempting to leave an Immigrations and Customs Enforcement stop. In the videos, an ICE agent who has yet to be identified stood to the front left of Good’s vehicle as she turned her wheels to the right. He then shot her through the windshield multiple times.
Good died at the scene. She is survived by a partner and a 6-year-old child.
“Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known,” Donna Ganger, Good’s mother, told the Minnesota Star Tribune. “She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.”
Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar described Good as a legal observer. Minneapolis Police Department Chief Brian O’Hara said it does not appear the woman was the “target of any law enforcement investigation or activity.”
