People gather for a vigil after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot and killed a motorist earlier in the day, Wednesday, Jan. 7, 2026, in Minneapolis.

The Sanctuary Alliance in Lawrence is asking community members to participate in a rally Sunday to express opposition to “rogue violent actions by federal agents” after an ICE agent fatally shot a 37-year-old mother Wednesday in Minneapolis.

Thousands of people across the country rallied and held vigils Wednesday for Renee Good, a U.S. citizen who was shot to death in her car. The ICE agent claimed that Good was trying to run him over, but multiple accounts and videos contradict that narrative. President Trump has sought to portray Good, a mother of three, as a “terrorist.”

Good’s ex-husband told The Associated Press that she had just dropped off her child at school and was driving home with her partner when she encountered the ICE agents.

Good was shot in the head in a residential neighborhood south of downtown Minneapolis, about a mile from where police killed George Floyd in 2020.

Lawrence’s Sanctuary Alliance has joined numerous organizations across the country in denouncing the shooting as an unwarranted act of deadly violence in the name of immigration enforcement.

“The start of this new year has been ripped away from us by the continued violence of federal forces,” the group said on social media. “We need to take our power back, in solidarity, in community.”

The solidarity demonstration is scheduled from noon to 1 p.m. Sunday at Ninth and Massachusetts streets, the site of regular protests aimed at the Trump administration.

“We are grateful to the Sunday protest organizers for giving us the space to show our solidarity with Minneapolis and our immigrant neighbors who continue to be terrorized by ICE,” the group said. “We ask the community to show up with us.”

Public records show Good had recently lived in Kansas City, Missouri, where she and another woman with the same home address had started a business last year called B. Good Handywork.

Dozens of protesters gathered Thursday morning outside a Minneapolis federal building being used as a base for the immigration crackdown. Border Patrol officers fired tear gas and doused demonstrators with pepper spray to push them back from the gate.

Area schools in Minnesota were closed as a safety precaution as Gov. Tim Walz pleaded for calm.
