Organizers believe that at least 1,500 people participated, most of whom were motivated by the killing or Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis by an ICE agent.

We reached out to the state GOP for a response to these concerns and officials said, “These efforts by the radical left to demonize the brave men and women sworn to enforce the law is shameful and should stop immediately.”
