ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!
CTA Name: ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!
Date of Action Hour: 01.13.2026
Explainer (describe the issue):
The murder of Renee Good was a horrific day for our state, community and residents. The loss of life that happened was the result of the reckless and unfettered use of military force against our own citizens. There is enough video to support that the agent was not under threat of imminent harm and yet made the decision to shoot Renee Good and kill her.
The actions of ICE are not only unacceptable, they are dangerous. The chaos they initiate CREATES dangerous situations rather than their claims of acting to ensure safety.
January 7, an ICE agent shot and killed a legal observer in Minneapolis. It was only the first full day of what the Department of Homeland Security proclaimed is the largest operation in the department’s history, surging more than 2,000 federal law enforcement officers to the Twin Cities for immigration enforcement.
They have killed a US citizen, and they are terrorizing our immigrant neighbors and anyone who looks Black and Brown. We must be clear: ICE’s attacks on our communities are motivated by hatred and fueled by violence and incompetence, and the outcome is predictable and horrifying.
We must speak out together, and demand ICE out of Minnesota now. The federal agent in question should be arrested, charged, and prosecuted. We must call on congress to demand a cease of ICE’s operations until an investigation into this incident is completed. People are being killed. Enough is enough. Our communities cannot wait for action.
Call to Action (what specific action are we taking):
We encourage you to call every one of your elected officials at all levels of government. No one gets by with the excuse that they aren’t in charge of ICE, we expect everyone in any level of leadership to speak up publicly and demand three things from Congress:
1. Get ICE out of MN
2. Demand the FBI share evidence with the BCA (Minnesota law enforcement) so Minnesota can conduct a fair investigation of the agent responsible and hold him accountable
3. Congress needs to step in, investigate ICE, and hold this Administration accountable for federal overreach.
Who should I call?
Visit https://gis.lcc.mn.gov/iMaps/districts/ or search “Who Represents Me?” then enter your address. It will tell you your federal and state legislators and provide links to their contact information.
Please call your US Representative as top priority, then our US Senators Tina Smith and Amy Klobuchar. Ask them to organize their colleagues to end this.
Next, call your MN Senator and MN Representative. Ask them to put out a public statement if they haven’t already, repeating our 3 demands. Ask them to call US Congress Members from MN to make these demands directly.
Search for your County Commissioner, County Sheriff, Mayor, City Council Member(s), and School Board Member(s) as well. These can be found on your county’s, city’s, and school district’s websites. Again, ask that they put out a public statement repeating our demands and contact US Congress Members to make the same requests.
Sample Script (voice or email):
Hi this is (your name) and I’m a constituent from (your city). I am horrified by ICE’s actions in our community and state as they terrorize our neighbors who are immigrants or who look Black or Brown. Now they’ve shot and killed a legal observer who posed no threat. I feel unsafe having ICE in our community and am calling on you in your leadership role to speak up to Congress on our behalf. I’m asking that you put out a public statement AND contact Minnesota’s federal legislators asking for three things:
1. Get ICE out of MN
2. Demand the FBI share evidence with the BCA (Minnesota law enforcement) so Minnesota can conduct a fair investigation of the agent responsible and hold him accountable
3. Congress needs to step in, investigate ICE, and hold this Administration accountable for federal overreach.
4. Support Senator Chris Murphy’s proposed legislation to require agents to have warrants for arrests, ban them from wearing masks during enforcement operations, limit the use of guns by ICE during civil actions, and restrict the Border Patrol to the border.
A number of elected officials have already spoken up asking for these demands and I hope and expect you will join them in demanding action from Congress. Thank you!
(If you’d like to leave your number for a call back, you can, especially with local elected officials)
Next Steps (what you can do after Action Hour)
Pass on this script to 5 friends & neighbors and invite them to make calls as well. You can share this link: bit.ly/ICECallScript
Share a post on social media and/or write a letter to the editor in your local paper. Repeat these 3 demands and call on elected officials to speak up with us in this moment. Add in a statement about how Minnesotans love our neighbors and stand together in the face of hatred and violence.
If you follow elected officials on social media and see them release a statement like we’re asking, be sure to like it, share it, and comment thanking them for speaking up!
Look on your County and/or City websites for the next board/council meeting and whether they take public comments. Show up with a few neighbors and make these same demands in that public meeting.
