Attendees at a downtown demonstration spoke about the 37-year-old woman who was killed and also rebuked violence by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.
About 180 people gathered in downtown Eugene for a midday protest Thursday, Jan. 8, a day after the shooting death of a 37-year-old woman in Minneapolis by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer.
Some of those at the rally, held near the Lane County Courthouse, talked about the death of Renee Nicole Good, whose name appeared on several signs held by protesters.
“She’s a young person who was just trying to do what was right,” Mary Addams, from Eugene, said to a reporter. “She was nonviolent, she wasn’t armed, and she was just shot terribly, just in cold blood.”
Addams said she thought, after watching a bystander’s video of the shooting, that it was “deliberate murder, but we’ll leave that for the investigation to decide for sure.”

Remarks Wednesday from U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem calling Good’s actions “domestic terrorism” led some protesters Thursday to speak out against Noem.
“Remove Kristi Noem,” read one sign. Another sign stated: “Shame Kristi Noem.”
Mark Fromuth, from Eugene, said that had Noem taken the time to watch the bystander video and “spoken truthfully,” she “would have said ‘We’ll get to the bottom of this and figure this out.’”
Others in attendance, like Karen Meyers, called the events Wednesday a “tipping point.”
“Enough people, I hope, will see that and realize that enough is enough,” said Meyers, who held a sign that said, “The ICE man can’t kill the Good in all of us” and “RIP Renee Nicole Good.”
Most of the group gathered near the courthouse marched two blocks to the corner of the downtown federal building, where some 100 or so people continued with chants and holding signs opposing ICE. A few protesters used colored chalk to fill in the name of Renee Nicole Good in a crosswalk spanning Pearl Street at Seventh Avenue.
