A protest connected to the fatal shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis was held in North Bend on Saturday, January 10th, 2026, at an intersection near the Premium Outlets.
The gathering was organized by Snoqualmie Valley Indivisibles and was described by organizers as an exercise of First Amendment rights. Organizers estimate approximately 130 Valley residents participated.
On January 7, 2026, Renee Nicole Macklin Good, a 37-year-old United States citizen, was fatally shot by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent during a federal enforcement operation in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Federal officials said the shooting occurred after agents approached Good’s vehicle in the street and that the agent acted in self-defense.
That account has been disputed by eyewitnesses, video analysis from multiple news organizations, and several state and federal officials, who have called for an independent investigation.
The incident took place amid a large-scale immigration enforcement surge announced by the Department of Homeland Security the day before, which sent thousands of federal agents into the Minneapolis-St Paul area.
Good’s death prompted widespread demonstrations in Minneapolis and in cities across the country, with protesters raising concerns about federal enforcement practices, use of force, and accountability. Local and state leaders in Minnesota publicly criticized the federal response, while the Trump administration defended the actions of ICE agents involved.
As the situation continues to develop, investigations into the shooting remain ongoing, and the incident has become a focal point in the broader national debate over immigration enforcement and federal law enforcement authority.
According to organizers, the protest was intended to draw attention to Good’s death and to express concern about federal immigration enforcement actions. Snoqualmie Valley Indivisibles is part of the national Indivisible network, a grassroots organization that states its mission is to promote progressive political engagement and oppose the Trump administration’s policy agenda.

Comments
I commend the citizens who came out to exercise their First Amendment rights of freedom to speak, freedom to assemble, and freedom to demand the government fix what is broken (speech, assembly, redress).
Protest is a right for everyone, whether it is about a national issue or a local incident.
We might not like the content of the demonstration or even the demands made by the demonstrators, but we can all be thankful for the protection of our civil rights to demonstrate and make our views known.
