ICE Out For Good Brattleboro
Wednesday, January 7th, an American citizen was killed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This killing is part of a broader pattern of unchecked violence, impunity, and abuse carried out by federal immigration enforcement agencies against members of our communities.
A broad coalition of groups across the country is calling for a coordinated Ice Out For Good Weekend of Action on Saturday, January 10th and Sunday, January 11th to demand accountability, honor the life lost, and make visible the human cost of ICE’s actions.
A core principle behind all ICE Out For Good events is a commitment to nonviolent action and no civil disobedience. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values, and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events. All events should be held in public spaces or on public property.

Why: A peaceful, song-filled vigil at Pliny Park was attended by about 200 people honoring the life of Renee Nicole Good, killed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Minneapolis, Minnesota on January 7. Brattleboro locals will gather again on Sunday at Pliny Park in conjunction with a wide coalition of groups calling for a nationwide weekend of action. We will protest the broader pattern of unchecked violence and abuse leading to all of the deaths caused by ICE and DHS over the last year. The coalition organizing "ICE Out For Good" includes Indivisible and the American Civil Liberties Union, which demands accountability and exposes “the broader pattern of ICE violence–including the 30+ lives lost in ICE detention in 2025.”
We honor and humanize the lost lives of our larger community. We offer space for grief and solidarity as well as outrage over this ongoing tragedy. We support collective action by strengthening local connections and neighborhood response systems. We continue to raise our voices and express our First Amendment rights in a peaceful manner.
While condemning the devastating and predictable result of ICE’s lawless operations and President Trump's abuse of power, we “remember all that’s good and right about this nation”, as Minnesota’s Governor Walz put it, and that we don’t allow “human dignity, respect and rule of law” to be withheld from any individual in the USA.
