Protests over the killing of 37 year old Renee Nicole Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent have extended beyond Minneapolis, with demonstrations reported in several major United States cities, according to multiple media outlets.
Minneapolis remains the epicentre of the unrest.
Thousands of residents have gathered near the site of the shooting for vigils and marches, demanding accountability for the agent involved and calling for an end to aggressive federal immigration enforcement within the city.
Local officials, including the mayor and members of the city council, have openly criticised the federal account of the incident and expressed support for peaceful protest.

Beyond Minnesota, smaller but coordinated protests have taken place in New York City, Seattle, Miami, and Detroit, where demonstrators rallied outside federal buildings and ICE offices in solidarity with Minneapolis.
Organisers in these cities framed the killing as part of a broader pattern of excessive force by federal authorities, urging independent investigations and policy reforms.
While some early reports suggested nationwide demonstrations, current verified coverage indicates that protests are concentrated in Minneapolis, with solidarity actions in a limited number of other cities rather than a mass mobilisation across all states.
Security agencies and local governments in affected cities have reported heightened police presence but no widespread violence linked to the demonstrations.
Federal authorities continue to maintain that the ICE agent acted in self defence, a claim disputed by eyewitness accounts, video footage circulating online, and statements from local leaders.
Investigations by state and federal agencies are ongoing, as protests are expected to continue in the coming days, particularly in Minneapolis where public anger remains intense.
