Boston protesters denounce ICE killing of Minneapolis woman

Demonstrators gathered in Boston on Saturday to protest the killing of a Minnesota woman by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer.

One protest took place at the Massachusetts State House around noon, according to The Boston Globe , while another happened at the John F. Kennedy Federal Building near City Hall Plaza.

Boston Common was filled with protesters, according to the Globe, as demonstrators chanted and displayed signs denouncing the shooting death of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old woman who was killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on Wednesday. Good was unarmed at the time.

Protests have been happening in Boston throughout the week in response to Good's death. Protesters gathered in Worcester on Thursday night.

The Department of Homeland Security has condemned Good as a "domestic terrorist," while video of the incident taken by a bystander appears to show the ICE agent shooting and killing Good as she tried to drive away.

Boston protesters demanded that Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey take action to sever any ties between local law enforcement and ICE, according to WCVB .
