HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow/AP) - Dozens gathered in downtown Honolulu Friday night to honor a woman who was shot and killed by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Minneapolis earlier this week.
On Jan. 7, Renee Nicole Macklin Good, 37, was stopped by agents in a residential neighborhood.
Video taken by bystanders and posted to social media shows an officer approaching her car, demanding she open the door and grabbing the handle. When she begins to pull forward, a different ICE officer standing in front of the vehicle pulls his weapon and immediately fires at least two shots into the vehicle at close range.
A group of local organizations, including Common Cause Hawaii and ACLU Hawaii, organized “A Community Vigil for Good” at the King Kamehameha Statue at Aliiolani Hale.
“Today is a vigil to honor her legacy and also a moment for our community to gather and really witness the violence and escalation of the administration’s deportation agenda, to stand together in solidarity here in Hawaii, and to call on our legislators to ensure we never see this kind of violence and escalation here in our islands,” said ACLU Hawaii immigrant rights attorney Leilani Stacy.
Stacy said Hawaii has seen a surge in ICE arrests over the past year, particularly on Hawaii Island and Kauai.
“This increase in arrests as well as detentions at the Federal Detention Center in Honolulu are happening today. They’re happening right now,” Stacy said, “and so what’s next could very likely be these sorts of raids happening here at home.”
Trump administration officials said the mother of three was a domestic terrorist who tried to ram federal agents with her car.
