Hundreds of people marched from the Pentacrest to the Ped Mall to protest ICE’s presence in communities like Minneapolis and Iowa Sunday.
The Press-Citizen reports the event was organized by Indivisible Iowa, led by Sue Thompson, a Minnesota native. She said she was familiar with the neighborhood were Renee Good was killed. Thompson told the crowd that Good was murdered in cold blood while exercising her constitutional rights.
Iowa City mayor Bruce Teague, Iowa City City Councillor Mazahir Salih, Iowa State Representative Elinor Levin, Reverend Noar Boerner, Human rights scholar Hope Metcalf, and University of Iowa professor Lisa Heineman also addressed the crowd.
At nightfall, a candlelight vigil at the Pentacrest brought out more than 100 people in honor of Good. The event was organized by a group of people who said they were family members of Becca Good, the wife of the victim. A speaker at the event would not say how they were related to Becca Good and refused to identify themselves to the Press-Citizen. Becca Good reportedly lived in Iowa City briefly.
