In Downtown, Austin-Anti Ice demonstrations on Saturday, following the shooting death of Renee Good-protesters chanting as police trying to unblock streets and ensure public safety.

APD detained multiple anti ice agitators. Governor Abbott saying in a statement Saturday - the TX Dept of Public Safety will not put up with defiant protesters. The demonstrations were across the nation in Minneapolis, Philadelphia, Portland, and in Fort Worth. In a post on X Governor Abbot said, " Texas is Not Minnesota".

Protesters complaining about Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers and the arrests they make turned out by the hundreds in Texas on Saturday.

They were chanting and carrying signs at Houston City Hall, where as many as 200 gathered on a cool afternoon, saying they were angered by video from many angles that's appeared on social media showing circumstances surrounding the shooting and killing of a woman at a Minneapolis protest while ICE agents were conducting an operation on a snowy day.

The resulting video from many angles shows a shooting into a car belonging to Renee Good, but both federal officials and many observers are reluctant to call it an unjustified shooting, and there's been no word on whether there will be a grand jury investigation.

Meanwhile, leftist Democrats and others are taking up Good's shooting as a cause, with 300 protesters showing up in downtown Fort Worth on Saturday, specifically protesting the Trump administration’s deportation push.

In Dallas, Fox News 4 reported "hundreds of protesters marching" through downtown before stopping at city hall.

Crowd estimates in San Antonio range from a few hundred (KENS-TV) to 1,000 (the San Antono Current), protesters yelling for "money for jobs and education not for racist deportations.'

And in Austin, a third days of protesting ICE arrests continued with as many as 400 appearing at city hall, with organizers shouting through bullhorns, "No peace! No fear! Immigrants are welcome here," according to the local NPR radio station.
