There was big breaking news. There is big breaking news tonight, which is that the Trump Justice Department wanted to investigate the victim. This is what I was talking about when I said just it's not shocking. It just remains disgusting. They wanted to investigate Renee Good. And we knew they had no interest in investigating the ICE agent who shot and killed her. We knew that. We learned that shortly after she was shot. We knew they wanted to investigate her widow. We also learned that. But thanks to incredible new reporting from my colleagues Ken Delaney and Carol Lennig, we now know they wanted to investigate Renee Good herself after she was shot three times and killed by an ICE agent. Now, the Hennepin County attorney, Mary Moriarty, I just mentioned this to Chris, who was shut out of this investigation by the Trump Justice Department, is standing by with her reaction to that breaking news.
The great and one and only Andrew Weissman is going to join me as well. That news is, I keep saying this, but it's worth repeating. It is so shocking and it is disgusting. That news makes me want to say lots of words I cannot say on TV, even on a Friday. But what has been clear from the moment Renee Good was killed is that the Trump administration was going to do anything they could to lie and gaslight their way through this. What has also been clear is that the American people know what they saw when the ICE officer killed Renee Good. And they know what they have seen as ICE has continued to terrorize their communities ever since. Want to know how I know? Well, this was the scene on the streets of Minneapolis today.
You can see it. And there's so many like this. Thousands upon thousands of people taking to the streets as part of an ice out protest demanding federal immigration agents leave their city. And I know it's hard to get a true understanding of this by just looking at video. But those thousands of people took to the streets on one of the coldest days of the year. And wherever you're preparing for Snowmageddon, I promise you it is colder. It was colder than that in Minneapolis today and across Minnesota. The high today, the high was negative nine degrees Fahrenheit. The windchill got as low as 35 degrees below zero. I kid you not. It genuinely got so cold that our MS Now camera on the ground froze. Not like the picture froze technically like that.
The camera got so cold, it stopped working. That's how cold it was in Minneapolis today. And so the crowds of protesters there were massive. They were this massive. Look at the screen right now. These were the crowds outside of the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport this morning protesting the airport allowing ICE to fly deportation flights out of one of its terminals. Protesters also said they were trying to send a message to the airline's Delta and Signature Aviation, which operate out of the airport, pressuring those airlines to join them in pressuring the airport to stop cooperating with ICE. And roughly 100 clergy members formed the front lines of that protest, and you can see them on the screen kneeling and praying, singing, and peacefully refusing to leave on the road outside the airport's main terminal.
They were all arrested today. peacefully and without incident. Now, today we also saw hundreds of businesses shut their doors across the city of Minneapolis in solidarity with the protesters. It was part of a general strike with organizers urging residents, no work, no school, no shopping, ice out. And we're gonna speak with one of those business owners who shut his doors in solidarity.
