Supervisor Mitchell's Statement on the Fatal Shootings of Keith Porter Jr. and Renee Nicole Good by ICE

LOS ANGELES, Calif. — LA County Supervisor Holly J. Mitchell released the following statement on the fatal shooting of Keith Porter Jr. and Renee Nicole Good by ICE:

Fatally shooting unarmed civilians is not about immigration enforcement or public safety, it’s an attack on our humanity and fundamental rights. Keith Porter and Renee Nicole Good deserved better. They should still be alive — watching their children grow up while pursuing their dreams. I extend my deepest condolences to their loved ones and to all who are grieving the far too many lives cut short due to this reckless, manufactured crisis by the Trump administration.

From California to Minnesota and across the nation, we will not look away from the disgrace and cowardice of masked individuals who take lives, tear families apart, and terrorize communities in the name of racism and hatred.

Our strength comes from standing together and that is what we will continue to do while using every tool at our disposal to fight back.
