A rally took place on January 8, 2026 at Philadelphia’s City Hall, in response to the tragic death of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, who was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis just a day earlier. The incident has sparked outrage nationwide, with protests erupting in cities across the country, including Philadelphia.
Renee Nicole Good, a U.S. citizen, was killed during an ICE operation in Minneapolis. Video footage shows ICE agents attempting to stop Good’s vehicle.
