CVT Denounces the ICE Shooting of Renee Nicole Good

Published January 8, 2026

Renee Nicole Good was shot to death by an ICE agent in Minneapolis as a direct result of unnecessarily intensified immigration enforcement by the Trump administration. This devastating loss of life would not have happened but for this unprecedented, unjustified and overly militarized deployment across the country and now in Minneapolis. The atmosphere this enforcement has created, which is now exacerbated by this deadly shooting, is a climate of terror.

Over four decades, CVT has worked with survivors of torture from 88 different countries. This type of militarized enforcement is among the exact kinds of oppressive environments our clients have fled.
