Good morning, my name is Jason Chavez.
And I have the privilege of representing Ward 9 on the Minneapolis City Council where ICE murdered Renee Good.
I want to let you all know that our entire community is mourning because of the inhumane tactics of ICE separating our families, forcing people back into the shadows, and the pure brutality by immigration's customs enforcement.
The videos that we have all seen, yourself included, does not match the false narrative from the federal government.
In fact, you can hear the words I am pulling out moments before ICE decided to take the life of Renee Good.
She was a mother, a wife, and a beloved community member, not a domestic terrorist.
I'm calling on Trump's FBI to allow the Minnesota BCA to have access to all the information so an independent investigation can occur.
It is important and critical to our community to have a sense of trust in this process by having an independent investigation to present to the county attorney so that adequate charges can be made.
But most importantly, I am here on behalf of my entire community
echoing the calls to arrest, to prosecute and fire this ICE agent who murdered Renee Good and to hold those accountable complicit in this crime.
What has descended upon Minneapolis and in this state is not the American dream.
It is not what the American dream is about.
Our immigrant neighbors are here to work.
They're here to cry for their family and to achieve prosperity.
Instead, what we are seeing in Minneapolis and across the state is ICE kidnapping our family, following folks driving to work and kidnapping them, following people as they're heading to school or to the daycare, picking up our immigrant neighbors from bus stops.
While neighbors are struggling to afford groceries, they're picking them there as well.
I've personally been on the streets since this first happened, and I've seen too many ICE agents kidnap our neighbors from their cars.
And to that, we're always going to condemn it.
And as we continue to ask for justice for Renee Good, we're going to ask our community members to stay on alert.
As a proud son of Mexican immigrants, I ask Minneapolis and Minnesota to rise up.
