Republicans state that ICE agents are simply doing their job and dealing with a never-ending problem. Since Renée Good’s death, at least three other people have been shot and another, Alex Pretti, was killed by ICE agents. Officers and ICE agents alike have claimed that these protestors are "rowdy" and therefore have used items like tear gas against the crowds as well as conducting arrests. The protestors believe that the police and ICE are using their position of power to purposefully harm the protestors. The rest of the country has looked to Oregon and Minnesota as examples and have begun to mass protest ICE.
