Hundreds Gather on Ocean Beach to Spell Out 'It Was Murder - ICE Out!'

"There were multiple protests Saturday around the Bay Area expressing rage over the killing of a Minneapolis mother of three at the hands of an ICE agent with a gun, including a gathering at Ocean Beach to spell out another aerially photographed message. There have been multiple human-spelled messages on Ocean Beach, photographed via drone, in protest of Donald Trump and the actions of his dispicable administration. And there was another Saturday in which hundreds spelled out the message "IT WAS MURDER - ICE OUT!!" with an upside-down American flag."

"As the Chronicle reports, there was a simultaneous protest Saturday that attracted hundreds at the intersection of Van Ness Avenue and O'Farrell Street, with plenty of anti-Trump signage. And a third protest took shape in the Mission District as well. The Trump administration and its fans have continued to promulgate the narrative that Good was a "paid agitator" of some kind and your Xitter feed, if you still have one, is likely full of such messages. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem wasted no time after the killing to cast Good as a "domestic terrorist." Good, along with her lesbian partner, had just dropped off Good's youngest son, who is six, at elementary school, when the encounter with ICE occurred."

The Trump administration and supporters circulated narratives labeling Good a "paid agitator," and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem described Good as a "domestic terrorist." Good had just dropped off her six-year-old son when the ICE encounter occurred.
