Protesters gathered Saturday afternoon in downtown Akron as part of an “ICE Out for Good Weekend of Action” protest, one of more than 1,000 organized nationwide for this weekend.

An estimated 500 Akron-area residents lined the four corners of the intersection of Main and Market streets for about 90 minutes before looping the block between East Market Street and East Mill Street, then returning to their starting point near the John F. Seiberling Federal Building.

The marches are intended to protest the Wednesday killing of Renee Good by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Minneapolis. The events were organized by a coalition of national organizations that included, among others, Indivisible, the American Civil Liberties Union, Voto Latino, United We Dream, 50501, and the Disappeared in America Campaign of the Not Above the Law coalition.

On Thursday, about 200 protesters rallied in Highland Square to protest Good’s killing — another protest is scheduled for Medina’s Public Square at 12:30 p.m. Sunday.
