The killing last week of Minneapolis mother Renee Good by an ICE agent - recorded on several videos - and false statements about it by Trump administration officials brought out more than 550 protestors to the Shoreline-Edmonds line Sunday.

Residents from those and several surrounding communities came to call for justice for Good and the end of aggressive, armed ICE agents acting as a de facto private force for the administration in cities across the country, which has resulted in several alarming and even fatal incidents.

Signs on a number of other topics, such as U.S. actions in Venezuela, and threats toward Greenland and NATO allies were also on display.

The huge turnout brought out first-time sign-wavers and regular attendees of the Social Justice Sundays sign-wavings held almost every Sunday at the corner of Aurora Avenue North and N. 205th St., as well as multiple generations of many families.

Everyday Activists, Indivisible Shoreline WA and other local groups teamed up to spread the word on short notice about the opportunity to join with others and share their feelings on the event of last week.
It was just one of more than a thousand protests planned across the nation this weekend.

The one on the left has a zipper pull she got at a protest the day before that is attached with a paperclip.
It was apparently a sign the Norwegian resistance used during that country's occupation during WWII to signal to others. Though they said it worked for quite some time but then, eventually the Nazis figured it out.
Protests will continue through January in Shoreline from 1-2pm on Sundays.

Where are the pro-ICE demonstrators? Could it be that the vast majority of us are opposed to their illegal behaviors?
Most people are not protesters. They are voters. On a personal level I don't have a negative opinion at all of people not obstructing the sidewalks or streets holding signs. That is peaceful and legal. I do have a great deal of problem with people hindering police activity and not realizing that ICE is upholding the law as written.
Actually, the beef is with the law not law enforcement but there are a group of people who think law enforcement are legitimate targets as if they are legislators. That's ignorant and should be stopped.
