WASHINGTON, D.C. —  A broad national coalition, including
Indivisible, MoveOn Civic Action, the American Civil Liberties Union,
Public Citizen, Voto Latino, United We Dream, 50501, the Disappeared
in America Campaign of the Not Above the Law coalition, and partner
organizations across the country, is calling for a coordinated ICE
OUT FOR GOOD WEEKEND OF ACTION on Saturday, January 10, and Sunday,
January 11. In less than 24 hours after the announcement, there are
already 1000 EVENTS ANTICIPATED nationwide. You can find the
growing list of events here. [[link removed]]

The mobilization comes in response to the escalation of ICE violence
in our communities, the killing of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old
wife and mother of three, and the months-long pattern of unchecked
violence and abuse in marginalized communities across America. ACROSS
THE COUNTRY, COMMUNITIES WILL GATHER IN NONVIOLENT, LAWFUL, AND
COMMUNITY-LED ACTIONS to honor the life lost, demand accountability,
and make visible the human cost of ICE’s actions.

Good and the Portland victims are part of a broader and deeply
alarming pattern of unchecked violence and abuse by federal
immigration enforcement agencies. In September, ICE reportedly shot
and killed Silverio Villegas González
[[link removed]],
a father and cook from Mexico living in Chicago. In 2025 alone, more
than 30 people have reportedly died in ICE detention

All actions under the ICE Out For Good banner are grounded in moral
witness, public accountability, and collective care. We remain
committed to nonviolent organizing. You can find the growing list of
events here. [[link removed]]

ICE OUT FOR GOOD WEEKEND OF ACTION GOALS

Coalition members are mobilizing to:

* Honor and humanize the lives taken by ICE
* Demand accountability, transparency, and an immediate
investigation into the killing of Renee Nicole Good
* Expose the broader pattern of ICE violence, including deaths in
detention
* Call for ICE to leave our communities
* Build public pressure on elected officials and federal agencies
* Create space for grief, solidarity, and collective action
* Strengthen local connections and neighborhood response systems

LEADERS FROM THE PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS ISSUED THE FOLLOWING
STATEMENTS:

INDIVISIBLE

“Renee Nicole Good was a wife, a mother of three, and a member of
her community. She, and the dozens of other sons, daughters, friends,
siblings, parents, and community members who have been killed by ICE,
should be alive today. This weekend, people across the country are
coming together to grieve, honor those we’ve lost, and demand
accountability from a system that has operated with impunity for far
too long. ICE’s violence is not a statistic, it has names, families,
and futures attached to it, and we refuse to look away or stay
silent.”

— LEAH GREENBERG, CO-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF INDIVISIBLE

POPULAR DEMOCRACY“Every person ICE has killed had a family, a
community, and a life that mattered. Pouring billions of public
dollars into a rogue enforcement agency that terrorizes our
communities while denying people health care, housing, food security,
and education is morally indefensible and profoundly reckless. This
cruelty flows directly from the agenda of fear and punishment pushed
by extremists like ​​Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller and
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, embraced and strengthened by the
President himself. We demand accountability for the killing of Renee
Nicole Good and for the countless lives lost at the hands of ICE. The
lesson is clear: this violence will not stop until ICE is
abolished.”— DAMAREO COOPER, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, POPULAR
DEMOCRACY 

ACLU“The shootings in Minneapolis and Portland were not the
beginning of ICE’s cruelty, but they need to be the end. These
tragedies are simply proof of one fact: the Trump administration and
its federal agents are out of control, endangering our neighborhoods,
and trampling on our rights and freedom. This weekend Americans all
across the country are demanding that they stop.”— DEIRDRE
SCHIFELING, CHIEF POLITICAL AND ADVOCACY OFFICER, ACLU

50501

“This weekend’s actions are prompted most immediately by the
tragic death of Renee Good in Minneapolis, and her murder at the hands
of ICE is unspeakable. We will uplift her this weekend, and we will
uplift all those in our communities whom ICE has targeted and
brutalized, from Silverio Gonzales to Marimar Martinez to all of those
people in marginalized communities whose names must not be forgotten.
This is our moment. We must conjure the souls of our brave ancestors
and remember we stand on the shoulders of giants.”

–SARAH PARKER, 50501 SPOKESPERSON AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, VOICES OF
FLORIDA FUND

MOVEON CIVIC ACTION

“For a full year, Trump’s masked agents have been abducting people
off the streets, raiding schools, libraries, and churches. As ICE’s
unnecessary, reckless, and escalatory deployment goes unchecked, the
killing of civilians will only continue. None of us want to live in a
country where federal agents with guns are lurking and inciting
violence at schools and in our communities. This is why MoveOn members
will be uniting once again this weekend in peaceful, nonviolent,
powerful protests in stark contrast to the unrepentant, ruthless
violence of this administration.”

–KATIE BETHELL, MOVEON CIVIC ACTION EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

PUBLIC CITIZEN, NOT ABOVE THE LAW COALITION 

“Masked, power-hungry federal agents are treating the streets of
America like the Wild West. The intimidation tactics, the deadly
attacks against our communities and the brazen lawlessness by
immigration enforcement must stop now. As ICE and border patrol agents
commandeer neighborhoods, people in detention centers, in ICE custody
or simply in their own personal vehicles fear for their lives. This
militarization of immigration enforcement is endangering everyone.
What’s more alarming is the Department of Homeland Security, the
vice president and president of the United States are endorsing ICE
and CBP’s violent behavior. The Trump Administration must stop ICE
deployment now, we must deeply investigate this unjust killing, and
the American people must file peacefully into the streets to resist
this illegal, overreaching use of government power. We must stand
together to effectively defend ourselves.”

– LISA GILBERT, CO-PRESIDENT OF PUBLIC CITIZEN AND CO-CHAIR OF THE
NOT ABOVE THE LAW COALITION WHICH FORMED THE DISAPPEARED IN AMERICA
CAMPAIGN.

NDLON

“We immigrants know what authoritarian violence is. Many of us come
from countries where we had to endure the kind of hatred and terror we
saw in Minneapolis. Many of us fled brutal regimes to seek survival
here.”

“We grieve for Renee Nicole Good and all the victims of this
Administration’s shameful and senseless brutality — the growing
list of the dead and injured. But we are not just  sorrowful. We are
defiant. We, the people, will stand together against all efforts to
dehumanize us, polarize us, terrorize us and kill us.”

“They want to provoke us into responding to violence with violence,
to meet hate with hate. They are desperate to justify their cruelty
with ever more brutality.”

“But we immigrants know how to confront authoritarianism. We will
resist the government’s attacks by building community, by
documenting atrocities, by protesting nonviolently, by showing
kindness and solidarity at all times. We will meet them in the
streets, in the courts, at the day labor corners. We will meet them
everywhere. And we will win.”

“We are not afraid or discouraged. And we will not be defeated. The
more we stand together as a community of determination and love, the
harder it will be for them to divide and destroy us.”

-PABLO ALVARADO, CO-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE NATIONAL DAY LABORER
ORGANIZING NETWORK

THE WORKER’S CIRCLE

“The tragic killing of Renee Good — a U.S. citizen exercising her
fundamental rights — by a federal ICE agent is not just a
catastrophic loss for her family and community; it is a stark warning
to all of us about where unchecked power leads. This
administration’s expanding use of force against our neighbors erodes
the very rights and safety that define who we are as a nation. As a
Jewish organization, we know what unchecked power has done in the
past. We must not let that take root here, today. Now, more than ever,
we must demand transparency, accountability, and policies that protect
human life, human dignity and civil liberties for everyone. Allowing
federal forces to act without independent oversight undermines justice
and threatens the safety of us all.”

– ANN TOBACK, CEO, THE WORKERS CIRCLE

UNITED WE DREAM 

“Using your first amendment rights to speak out and show up for your
neighbors during the growing anti-immigrant violence in our cities
should be a protected constitutional right, not a death sentence. This
brutal killing is a horrifying reminder of the threat armed forces
pose to our collective safety, especially at a time when local, state
and federal officials have consistently called on the federal
government to invest in the resources working families truly need
—health care, housing, access to food— instead of indiscriminate
terror in our communities. Billions poured into immigration raids for
the sake of ripping apart communities in cities like Los Angeles,
Chicago and Minneapolis does nothing but lead to irreparable damage,
violence and death. In 2025 alone, 32 people died in immigration
detention. We demand an immediate end to this cruelty and for elected
leaders at every level to speak out in defense of immigrant
communities and our shared safety.”

– UNITED WE DREAM 

VOTO LATINO

“Under Donald Trump’s leadership and Kristi Noem’s direction of
the Department of Homeland Security, ICE has become more aggressive,
more reckless, and more deadly — with 2025 marking its deadliest
year in two decades. The killing of Renee Nicole Good, a U.S. citizen
shot and killed by federal agents in Minneapolis, is not an isolated
failure but the predictable outcome of a political agenda that rewards
force and dehumanization.”

“Trump and Noem have normalized the erosion of constitutional
rights, framing brutality as enforcement and accountability as
weakness. Their rhetoric and policies have sent a clear message down
the chain of command: push limits, ignore safeguards, and expect
protection from consequences. This is not about partisan politics —
it is about defending human life and the rule of law. We stand with
Renee Nicole Good’s family and with communities nationwide to demand
accountability and to stop the unchecked enforcement born of Trump and
Noem’s leadership before more lives are lost.”

— VOTO LATINO
