“I am deeply disturbed and full of anger about the killing of Renee Nicole Good, an unarmed mother, by a United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Minneapolis on January 7. This action, and President Trump’s reckless defense of it, must be condemned in the strongest terms, and the agent and those in charge must be held accountable. The video is clear – Ms. Good was seeking to turn away from the officer as he opened fire.
“We have seen in case after case that President Trump and his administration have empowered unidentified, masked, unknown and untrained ICE agents to act as a domestic police force to instill fear in our communities, and to act outside the basics of the American system of laws. That must change. ICE must be publicly identifiable to the public, comply with our system of laws, and held accountable for their actions. Justice demands nothing less.”
At a rally held outside the county courthouse in White Plains, Mayer said, “Spoke my mind after the killing of Renee Good – we cannot accept a militarized domestic police force threatening and abducting our neighbors and our communities. Good’s death cannot be explained away no matter how they try. Hastings-on-Hudson, Mamaroneck, White Plains. Thank you to those willing to come out and speak out!”
