Over 150 people walked across the Capital Avenue Bridge in Frankfort on Saturday in a silent march protesting Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Marchers held umbrellas in one hand and handmade signs in the other, displaying slogans like "ICE out" and "Abolish ICE." Many passersby honked in support, waved, or gave thumbs up. At one stoplight, a person in a passing car stood up through the window to shout thanks to the protesters.
Several people joined the march from their parked cars along the route, waving signs from the street. Nancy, a Frankfort resident, was one of them. She said she can't walk very far, but knew she had to come out.
"We dressed in black to mourn for the 37-year-old woman who was killed by ICE," Nancy said.
The march was organized by Frankfort resident Tona Barkley, co-leader of Capital Indivisible. She said the shooting of Renee Good is part of a pattern of increasing violence from ICE.
"Somebody was murdered and she's not the only one that has been shot," said Barkley. "And more than 30 people have died in ICE custody, which is way, way, way above previous administrations."
Barkley said she believes the country is at a moral turning point.
"The American people are not in favor of what is happening to immigrants and to people who are protesting," Barkley said. "We have a right to protest. It is not an act of terrorism to disagree with your government."
