 Family and neighbors mourn woman shot by ICE agent after making Minneapolis her home  Before she was fatally shot by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer, 37-year-old Renee Good had just dropped her youngest child off at an elementary school in Minneapolis, the city she and her family had recently begun to call home. As Trump administration officials continued Thursday to describe Good as a domestic terrorist who tried to ram federal agents with her Honda Pilot, those who knew her remembered someone very different: a gentle, kind, and openhearted mother, wife, and neighbor. Good, her wife and her 6-year-old son had recently moved from Kansas City, Missouri, to a quiet Minneapolis neighborhood lined with older homes and small apartment buildings.

 ‘Heartbreaking’: Deputy Speaker Kalu on Lagos Trade Fair demolitions


Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, has described the demolition of buildings at the Lagos Trade Fair Complex as heartbreaking.

Speaking on Friday during President Bola Tinubu’s visit to Abia State for the commissioning of projects executed by the Governor Alex Otti administration, Kalu said the exercise “makes our hearts bleed.”

The president was represented at the event by the Minister of Works, David Umahi.

“Mr President, I also want to say that the destruction, demolition of the houses and offices of our brothers in Lagos makes our hearts bleed,” Kalu said.

The Deputy Speaker appealed to President Tinubu to intervene with the Lagos authorities and allow defaulters time to regularise their documents instead of losing their properties.

“For some of them who have not gotten the right document, my plea is to appeal to the governor of Lagos State (Babajide Sanwo-Olu) to keep accommodating our brothers.

“Let them come into the room and find a way of regularising some of these documents. It bleeds our hearts that in this hard time, houses are being destroyed. But I know Mr President, who cares for the Igbos, will listen to the yearnings of the Igbos,” he said.

He also called on the Federal Government to prioritise port development in the South East to support the region’s trading economy.

His appeal follows the commencement of the demolition of illegal and unsafe structures at the Trade Fair Complex in Lagos.

The operation, carried out on September 25, involved the Ministry of Physical Planning, the Lagos State Building Control Agency, the Urban Renewal Agency, and the Physical Planning Permit Authority.
