About 60 residents of the Brookhaven retirement community — with an average age of 85 — braved snow and cold on Sunday to protest ICE enforcement actions after two Minneapolis residents, ICU nurse Alex Pretti and mother of three Renee Good, were fatally shot by federal agents this month.

Demonstrators held photos of Pretti and Good, as well as signs reading “No Kings” and “ICE isn’t nice.” Many passersby honked and waved in support, according to Nancy Brodsky, who shared the following photos. One young woman stepped out of her car, handed the group a box of donuts, and then disappeared into the wind. “We didn’t get her name,” Brodsky said, “but we’re all commenting that there’s hope in this world.”

  1. People who harass officers enforcing laws, disobey orders, and resist arrest seldom achieve a good outcome, and yet, others keep trying the same thing hoping for a different outcome. The word for that is insanity. What is the word for tracking, following, harassing, interfering, and trying to instill fear in law enforcement? Terrorism, domestic terrorism. King? The last one was Joe Biden who decided on his own to open the borders without a Congressional or voter mandate.
