US EditionNicollet Avenue Shops Offer Free Meals and Shelter After Federal Officers Kill Resident
Community members in Minneapolis organize patrols and mutual aid to protect children amid rising ICE raids, with over 6,000 family units detained nationwide, advocates say.
- This month, Minneapolis families and volunteers organized school patrols and crossing-guard shifts to protect students, intensifying after the Jan. 20 detention of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos.
- After the killing of Renee Nicole Good, killed by an ICE officer less than three weeks ago, officials and families reported federal agents circling schools, and Sullivan Elementary warned about ICE flyers offering `food support`.

- Ramos's detention sparked nationwide outrage and protests, while ICE officials defended detentions as advocates and family attorneys disputed claims by ICE Commander Greg Bovino.
