More ICE protests took place Thursday in New York City, after hundreds marched Wednesday night in Manhattan's Foley Square over the fatal shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis by a federal immigration agent.

The rallies were mostly peaceful with police reporting no arrests.

Hundreds of protesters return to Foley Square

Demonstrators returned to Foley Square, across from the federal immigration court in Lower Manhattan, at around 9 a.m. They started marching down Centre Street and toward One World Trade Center, where U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was holding a news conference.

Chopper 2 was live over the march while there was a large law enforcement presence.

Many in the crowd chanted "Justice for Renee Nicole Good," to protest ICE enforcement in New York and around the country.

"When Donald Trump said he could shoot someone on Fifth avenue and not lose any votes, he was talking about Renee Good," said Assemblyman Alex Bores, who represents parts of Manhattan.

New York City Public Advocate Jumaane Williams joined in with the protesters and said he believes New Yorkers can set an example for the country. 

"The question for New Yorkers and Americans is how many more excuses do you have for what we're seeing?" Williams said. "I asked folks, 'What would you have done if you were at the precipice of the worst of Germany, the worst of Rwanda, the worst that we've seen in this country? What would you do to try to prevent it from happening?' Because now is the time. We just have to do what we can with where you are and with what you have." 

Demonstrators returned to Foley Square again Thursday night. The evening rally grew to more than 500, according to police.

"It was horrific, you know, like, they executed a citizen in her neighborhood," protester Joe Ferrara said.

"It's become so clear that there's no accountability. They know that this administration is gonna back them up whatever they do," protester Eli Northrup said.

Protesters said they will be back at it with another rally in the coming days.

"As things get more rough out in the streets, we never know what's gonna happen," protester Ricardo Leon said, "and so it's important to show and send a message out to everyone that we need to come together."

Noem holds news conference in NYC as lawmakers zero in on ICE

Noem said the ICE officer in the Minneapolis shooting "did follow his training," during her news conference Thursday in New York City. 

"This is an experienced officer who followed his training, and we will continue to let the investigation unfold into the individual and continue to follow the procedures and policies that happen in these use-of-force cases," Noem said.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani responded to Noem's claims Thursday night.

"If that is following his training, then I think there are larger questions about the training that's being provided to ICE agents," he said. "I think what many New Yorkers woke up with feeling today was a heightened sense of anxiety and fear as to whether they were safe in leaving their homes."

A group of New York elected officials has called on Congress to impeach Noem over her account of the shooting in Minnesota. Noem and President Trump said the ICE agent fired in self-defense, but local officials said videos from the scene dispute it. 

The New York lawmakers also announced their push for laws preventing ICE agents from wearing masks amid a rise in immigration enforcement in the city and nationwide.

The legislators want to pass the MELT Act, which would ban immigration agents from wearing face coverings, and the RADAR Act, which would create a public online database of ICE activity statewide.
