Liberal celebrities slam ICE in wake of Minneapolis shooting

Liberal Hollywood stars have denounced Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after an agent shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis.

Renee Nicole Good, 37, was shot in the head three times while inside her SUV on Wednesday, sparking mass protests in the streets and outrage from Minnesota lawmakers.

Liberal celebrities, including Amanda Seyfried, Cynthia Nixon and Simu Liu are leading the charge from A-listers slamming ICE for the shooting.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) claimed the shooting was an act of self-defense, but the city’s Democrat Mayor Jacob Frey has blasted ICE’s characterization of the shooting and told them to ‘get the f**k out of Minneapolis.’

‘They are already trying to spin this as an act of self-defense. Having seen the video myself, I wanna tell everybody directly, that is bull****,’ he said.

DHS has deployed more than 2,000 officers to the area in what it says is its largest-ever immigration enforcement operation.

Vice President JD Vance called on ICE agents to ‘work even harder’ in the wake of the shooting.

‘To the radicals assaulting them, doxxing them, and threatening them: congratulations, we’re going to work even harder to enforce the law,’ he wrote on X.

Hollywood A-listers have hit out at ICE after an agent shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday.

Mama Mia actress Amanda Seyfried shared several Instagram Stories about the news, including a video of Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey telling ICE to ‘get the f**k out of Minneapolis.’

In her next story, Seyfried posted a quote from George Orwell’s 1984 that read, ‘The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.’

Marvel star Simu Liu wrote on X, ‘Beyond appalled at the murderous actions of ICE agents in Minneapolis. Don’t be manipulated by rhetoric; there is a video, and it clearly shows the murder of an unarmed woman driving away. AWAY.’

He added, ‘Immigration laws can be enforced in a dignified way. F**k ICE forever.’

Sex and the City actress Cynthia Nixon shared a video of the shooting on her Instagram Stories and wrote, ‘Abolish ICE.’

She followed that message with, ‘And arrest that ICE agent and charge him with murder!!! And arrest ALL of the ICE agents who blocked her medical care & charge them with reckless endangerment or manslaughter or whatever law applies in Minnesota.’

Family member says woman killed while driving into ICE agent ‘should have minded her own business’ as another calls it ‘murder’

The former brother-in-law of a mother shot dead by an ICE agent during immigration operations in Minneapolis has argued she ‘should have minded her own business’.

Renee Nicole Good, 37, was fatally shot in the head while inside her SUV on Wednesday, sparking mass protests in the streets and outrage from Minnesota lawmakers.

President Donald Trump and the Department of Homeland Security have defended the agent at the center of the violence, arguing he feared for his life because Good appeared to be accelerating her car in his direction.

Vance says ICE will ‘work even harder’

In a statement on X last night, Vice President JD Vance said ICE is now ‘going to work even harder.’

‘I want every ICE officer to know that their president, vice president, and the entire administration stands behind them,’ he said.

‘To the radicals assaulting them, doxxing them, and threatening them: congratulations, we’re going to work even harder to enforce the law.’
