Shocking news out of Minnesota. On my recent trip there I met with numerous human rights defenders who told me of the violence they faced from law enforcement officers, and the legacy of law enforcement killings in the city. (1/2)
Screenshot of a Linkedin post by Amelia Shindelar, which reads: "On the morning of January 7, 2026, an agent of the US Federal Government killed a human rights defender. Renee Good was peacefully working to protect the human rights & fundamental freedoms of her neighbors by monitoring the actions of the United States Immigration & Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE). In violation of the US Constitution (4th, 5th and 14th amendments), the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Article 9) & the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (Article 9) ICE has been systematically detaining immigrants. Across the US human rights defenders are organizing & taking action to document these violations by taking video footage with their cellphones and recording vital information, such as location, number of agents involved & individuals detained. This is vitally important work to document the abuses happening in our country. Renee was killed for protecting the human rights of others."
