Persisterhood sponsors ‘ICE out for Good’ protest in St. Joseph this Sunday on Belt Highway
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- A peaceful protest and rally titled "ICE out for Good" has been announced in St. Joseph this Sunday on the Belt Highway following a deadly shooting in Minneapolis this week, one of numerous protests taking place across the country in response to the shooting.
Persisterhood -- St. Joseph announced it will sponsor an "Ice Out for Good" peaceful vigil/rally this Sunday, Jan. 11, from 2 to 3 p.m. on the public sidewalks on the southeast corner of the Belt and Frederick Intersection in St. Joseph.
The rally comes after 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, an American citizen, was killed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on Wednesday, Jan. 7.
"This killing is part of a broader pattern of unchecked violence and abuse carried out by federal immigration enforcement agencies against members of our communities," said Jane Frick, co-facilitator with Persisterhood of St. Joseph.
Persisterhood is one of several advocacy groups across the U.S. holding similar peaceful protests this Saturday and Sunday, including Indivisible, MoveOn, the American Civil Liberties Union, Voto Latino, United We Dream, 50501 and the Disappeared in America Campaign of the Not Above the Law coalition.
"This will be the EIGHTH peaceful protest Persisterhood-St. Joseph has sponsored at the Belt and Frederick Intersection since March 2025. We encourage people to bring flags and signs as we stand together in solidarity with others across the country showing we want an end to government-sanctioned terror," Frick said.
