Protesters gathered across the Bay Area on Saturday to rally against the shootings of unarmed civilians by federal officers, including the killing of a woman in Minneapolis last week.

About 450 assembled to be photographed in a human banner on Ocean Beach in San Francisco, spelling out, “It was murder, ICE out!!” – a reference to the death of Renee Nicole Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer on Wednesday.

“We’re mobilizing across the country this weekend to honor Renee Nicole Good, demand accountability for ICE’s killing of Renee, and make visible the human cost of ICE’s terror,” the grassroots network Indivisible said in a statement.

Several dozen demonstrations occurred in the Bay Area during the past week after Good was killed, including a candlelight vigil at Delucchi Park in downtown Pleasanton on Thursday and an anti-ICE and anti-war protest in downtown Livermore organized by Livermore Indivisible.
