Why Minnesotans Fear ICE

Not far from where I live, an ICE agent shot and killed a woman. At first, I didn’t know her name, just the location. That morning, I received the news via text from an old friend of mine, a Latino activist and a fellow poet. The block where she was killed—34th and Portland—is the Minneapolis neighborhood right next to mine, a little over half a mile away from where George Floyd was murdered in broad daylight by Officer Derek Chauvin in 2020.

Later, I learned her name: Renee Good.
