Americans who remember how an incident in Minneapolis six years ago plunged the whole country into a summer of rioting -- then years of elevated criminal violence -- should think carefully about where the protests over the death of Renee Good are leading.
Like the killing of George Floyd, Good's tragedy is being exploited for a political purpose, with the radical activists who then called for defunding the police now demanding an end to Immigration and Customs Enforcement -- not only the agency, ICE, but the enforcement of the nation's democratically enacted immigration laws.
It's the protesters' veto, an assertion by activists of a right to cancel laws they don't like.
And it's already cost lives, including Renee Good's.
She was shot and killed by an ICE officer when she drove her car toward him.
Why was she having any interaction with ICE at all?
