Ugly makeshift barricades appear at scene of Minneapolis ICE shooting as locals try to keep federal agents out and city shuts schools for rest of week
Barricades were erected by community members around the intersection where Renee Nicole Good, 37, was killed by an ICE agent in Minnesota.
Protesters have erected makeshift barricades in the area where an ICE agent shot and killed a Minneapolis woman yesterday, with locals now attempting to keep federal agents out of their neighborhood while the city shuts down.
Renee Nicole Good, 37, was shot and killed by an agent with Immigration and Customs Enforcement while driving in her vehicle during a protest.
The shooting has sparked protests across Minnesota and deepened partisan divisions on ICE operations under the Trump administration.
Demonstrators rallying against ICE erected makeshift barricades early Thursday morning around the intersection where Good was shot three times in the face.
The barricade was constructed using palettes, traffic cones, garbage cans, and wooden boards.
Residents guarding the barricades told CNN they were a part of the immigrant community in Minneapolis.
One individual said the barricade was meant to keep cars from entering the neighborhood.
A photo of the barricade showed a large wooden board with the inscription: 'Protect the living & honor the dead!'

On the other side of the barricade, community members set up a memorial for Good with signs and candles.
Footage of a vigil at the memorial last night from local Fox affiliate, KMSP, showed mourners chanting Good's name and praising her for defending members of the community.
The Minneapolis Public School District canceled classes and activities for the rest of the week due to 'safety concerns.'
School-sponsored programs, activities, athletics, and community education classes were also canceled in the wake of potential unrest.
'MPS will continue collaborating with the City of Minneapolis and other partners on emergency preparedness and response,' the district wrote online.
A confrontation between ICE agents and students occurred on Wednesday outside of Roosevelt High School.
Video footage circulated of agents allegedly using a chemical irritant on students, according to a witness.
