  While the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole good Bye and
• 0:21
  Immigrations and Customs enforcement officer in Minnesota was a state away,
• 0:25
  elected officials representing Kendall and Kane Counties said the tragedy
• 0:30
  hits close to home. The thirty seven year old Minneapolis
• 0:34
  mother was killed when an ice officer fired into her
• 0:36
  moving vehicle on Wednesday, January seventh. The city has seen
• 0:40
  a surge of federal immigration officers as the Trump administration
• 0:43
  said it is clamping down on illegal immigrants there. State Rep.
• 0:47
  Stephanie Kifowit d Oswego, former US Marine Corps veteran, called
• 0:52
  the shooting of good of profound failure of accountability and
• 0:54
  a moment that demands national action. She said the use
• 0:57
  of deadly force is always a last resort. What happened
• 1:02
  in Minnesota is devastating and unacceptable and flies in the
• 1:05
  face of proper training. Cafoit said in the release, it
• 1:08
  is a complete disregard for human life. A US citizen
• 1:11
  a mother lost her life during an ICE operation by
• 1:14
  someone who drew their weapon and fired without hesitation. This
• 1:18
  is not self defense. It should never have happened. US
• 1:21
  Homeland Security Secretary Christy Nome described Good driving her vehicle
• 1:26
  at the scene as an act of domestic terrorism. President
• 1:30
  Donald Trump posted on social media that Good violently, wilfully,
• 1:35
  and viciously ran over the ICE officer who seems to
• 1:38
  shot her in self defense. A video taken by a
• 1:42
  bystander capturing the incident contradicts Trump's claims, showing Good attempting
• 1:47
  to drive away as ICE officers try to open her
• 1:49
  driver's side door. Kiefowic called for a full, transparent investigation
• 1:54
  into the incident and said she supports the proposed federal
• 1:56
  legislation to hold no one accountable for the incident. US Rep.
• 2:01
  Robin Kelly D. Madison has called for no m to
• 2:04
  be impeached. It is clear ICE cannot be trusted to
• 2:08
  keep the safety of our communities first and foremost in
• 2:11
  their operations. Kiefowitz said, when something like this happens anywhere
• 2:15
  in our country, it sends fear rippling through communities like
• 2:18
  ours that it will happen here without accountability. Following the shooting,
• 2:23
  US Rep. Lauren Underwood D Naperville and a Wednesday press
• 2:27
  call called out what she called an escalation of federal
• 2:30
  immigration enforcement in Illinois. I think we saw some devastating
• 2:34
  footage out of Minneapolis. Underwood said, it should never occur,
• 2:39
  and I hope that those responsible will be fully held accountable.
• 2:42
  Following a vigil an a rally for Justice for Good
• 2:45
  in Addison, Cristobal Cavazos, executive director of KASA du Page
• 2:50
  Workers Center Immigrant Solidarity du Page, called the shooting a
• 2:54
  complete outrage. We just had to go out there last night.
• 2:57
  This is just wrong. We ought to be the moral
• 3:01
  voice in this moment. He said, they killed this woman
• 3:03
  who was there as an observer, a loving woman there
• 3:07
  in an act of bravery and solidarity. Federal agents are
• 3:10
  going into our domestic cities likes it's a war zone.
• 3:13
  They're actually creating a war zone. Cavazo's group operates a
• 3:17
  two hundred members strong people's patrol documenting ICE's actions across
• 3:21
  the Chicago suburbs. If you reference residents' efforts like in
• 3:25
  Saint Charles, encouraging the city to ban ICE actions on
• 3:27
  public property and to ensure their local police abide by
• 3:30
  the state's Trust Act, prohibiting local law enforcement from participating
• 3:34
  or coordinating with federal immigration enforcement efforts. Communities like Elgin, Aurora, Batavia,
• 3:40
  and Kane County have already adopted rules banning ice from
• 3:44
  public property. Elected officials in Saint Charles have not yet
• 3:48
  taken the same action. We're making a call on all
• 3:51
  the towns to take these measures and show some moral
• 3:54
  courage and conviction and do what's right and kick ice
• 3:57
  out of these municipal parking lots and areas, Vaso, said.
• 4:02
  Will County Executive Jennifer Bertino. Tarrant issued an executive order
• 4:06
  in October that set restrictions on ice activity to all
• 4:10
  county owned property, except for the Will County Courthouse, which
• 4:14
  is under the purview of Will County Chief Judge Dan Kennedy.
