Madison Crowds Rally Over Police-Involved Death of Homeless Ex-Con Corey Ruiz

Hundreds of protesters marched through downtown Madison on Friday to condemn the police shooting of Corey Ruiz, a 38-year-old homeless ex-con who allegedly stabbed a police officer. The demonstration, from Williamson Street to the MPD headquarters, disrupted traffic and included confrontations with diners as activists chanted anti-police slogans; Ruiz was killed during a Wednesday confrontation with officers, with video showing a three-officer struggle during which shots were fired.

Five flashpoints ignite backlash against ICE enforcement

Americans are increasingly uneasy about broad ICE enforcement after an ICE agent fatally shot Renee Good in Minneapolis, with Axios outlining five flashpoints: Good’s Minnesota shooting; DHS/DOJ investigations into ICE’s Minnesota raid; a CBP shooting in Portland; a Minnesota woman dragged from her car during an ICE operation in a viral video; and the Oglala Sioux Tribe’s claim that ICE held tribal members, fueling protests and political backlash as polls show many view ICE as making the country less safe (47%) and a majority say Good’s shooting was not justified (50%).
