Amanda Seyfried, Cynthia Nixon and Simu Liu are among the growing list of A-list celebrities who have reacted to a woman being shot and killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer in Minneapolis.
Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother of one, was killed by an ICE officer in her vehicle. She was trying to drive away while an officer attempted to open her door. Her vehicle was one of several parked in the middle of the road as ICE attempted to move through.
The Trump administration said that the ICE officer’s life had been put in danger by Good’s actions. They have said that she drove towards him, justifying his use of lethal force.
This characterization has been disputed by Democrats. The killing has sparked large protests in Minneapolis, and the killing has been described as senseless and unjustified.
In a post on X, Liu wrote, “beyond appalled at the murderous actions of ICE agents in minneapolis. dont be manipulated by rhetoric; there is a video, and it clearly shows the murder of an unarmed woman driving away. AWAY. immigration laws can be enforced in a dignified way. f*** ICE forever.”
Seyfried shared a clip of Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey speaking about the shooting and telling ICE to “Get the f*** out of Minneapolis” before sharing a passage from George Orwell’s novel 1984 which has become regularly quoted online in connection with Trump’s second administration. It read: “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
Nixon has called for the arrest of the ICE agent, writing on her Instagram story, “Arrest that ICE agent and charge him with murder!!!”
