Demonstrators march through Durham to protest Minnesota ICE incident

DURHAM, N.C. (WTVD) -- On the streets of Durham, there were growing calls for justice for Renee Good.

The 37-year-old woman was shot and killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Minneapolis on Wednesday. The Department of Homeland Security said Good was trying to run over the ICE agent. Various video angles showed how it all played out.

"My heart is really heavy," said Betsy Barton as she replayed the video of Good's last moments. Her heartbreak came just two months after ICE agents were on the streets in Durham.

"It's not just that people were up scared or in fear, it's that they were taken away from their families. They were wrenched out of their cars less than a mile from where I live," Barton said.

A rally was called hours after Good was killed, with demands for accountability.

"What justice means to us is for ICE to not be in our streets and more," said Amy Aponte. She is one of the organizers with the Party for Socialism and Liberation, which called for this rally on Thursday night.

"It just made me realize that really, none of us are safe. You know, Renee Good is a White woman. And if they can shoot her, if they kill her, they can kill you. They can kill me for no reason," said Aponte.

Hundreds of protesters shared in that same message, frustrated and fed up, including Rodolfo Gorrin.

"It's unacceptable. We're beyond done with that senseless violence," he said. "I'm done. We're done. And that's what we're out here to get our voices heard, to get this message to more people."

Immigration rights activists also took their message to the streets of Durham, marching throughout downtown.

Karen Taggart was right along with them, holding a sign condemning ICE.

"You're not alone, that the truth is, that she was murdered, that the video that you're watching is real, " said Taggart.

President Donald Trump defended the agent's action and said the officer acted in "self-defense."
