In Minneapolis, the same city where George Floyd was murdered by police officer Derek Chauvin six years ago, two people have been killed in recent weeks by ICE agents during protests. Renée Good and Alex Pretti were both US citizens. These deaths point to a darker reality unfolding in the US, one marked by the open use of authoritarian and militarised power. It is a reality that should concern people everywhere. In 2025 alone, a record 32 people died in ICE custody.
