ADRIAN — With signs, flags, and chants of “ICE murdered Renee Good,” about 150 people gathered in front of the old Lenawee County Courthouse on Jan. 10 in the wake of a shooting in Minneapolis three days earlier that left a woman dead.

In the incident, 37-year-old Renee Good was shot and killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent during a confrontation in a residential neighborhood of South Minneapolis. Shortly after the shooting, President Donald Trump alleged in a social media post that Good “violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer,” while Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey characterized the shooting as “a federal agent recklessly using power that resulted in somebody dying.”

Videos of the shooting show Good putting her SUV into reverse and backing away, then turning her wheel to the right, away from the agent, and beginning to drive forward, at which point the agent opened fire. Videos from the scene also show agents refusing to allow bystanders, including one who identified himself as a doctor, to provide medical aid.

One sign at the protest displayed a list of people who were shot by agents or who died while in ICE custody. According to a report in The Guardian, 32 people died in ICE custody in 2025, the highest number in about 20 years.

In addition to Adrian, the Michigan communities where protests arose in the days following the shooting include Grand Rapids, Battle Creek, Grand Haven, Kalamazoo, Detroit, Paw Paw, Crystal Falls, and Lansing.
