Is the murder of Renee Good by Trump's immigration police news in the U.K.?

[MsAmerica]

As Trump keeps pursuing this insane violent crackdown, supposedly on illegal immigrants, but actually much beyond that - A woman in Minneapolis was shot, in her car. Luckily there is a ton of video, but Trump's people are already maligning her, and it's a horrible tragedy.

Yes, it’s been on the front page of BBC News here.

Yes, quite widely reported, talked about here and there on family whatsapp groups and at work and suchlike.

Really big. Everyone I've heard speaking about it is firmly of the view that it was cold blooded murder.

It’s just another example of how far America has fallen I think.

Huge news.
On social media the only news as big is the Iranian Revolution (mainstream media slowly catching up)

Very much so. I am appalled as is everybody I know other than those who have stopped watching the news about trump because they can’t bear it anymore. There are a good few of those.

Yes, big news, clearly a huge tragedy. It's so terrible what America has come to.

Northern Ireland newspapers and radio picking up on her time spent here doing church youth stuff:

Yes dreadful,

Nothing good coming out of America these days.

Absolutely

Yes. It’s big news here.
Are there many protests in the US?

It is currently the 4th story on the BBC News website, after Syria, Syria and football.

MsAmerica I assume from your username you're actually IN America?

Yes, it's been huge news here. Absolutely huge. The aftermath is still being covered. Politicians have commented on it. It was the main item on Newsnight within 24 hours of it happening. New news on it has been covered fully (different video footage coming out, etc). I think it made the front pages the next day for most press.

I mean, you could look up various mainstream news sites and see?

It's also what many of us have been talking angrily about among ourselves. The day after it happened (time difference - think that makes it Thursday) I got into a spontaneous conversation about it with the owner of my friendly local coffee shop. My son and I talked of little else for the 24 hours afterwards. It's popping up on UK political feeds on social media, as well as US ones. What did you expect?

There’s now a GoFundMe for the shooter.

Big news here. 3 full threads on this site about it.

Yes. Personally we're horrified. There's no way we'd consider going to USA for the foreseeable and lots of people i know feel the same.

For what purpose?!

Good! (No pun intended.) I'm glad so many of you are aware of it.

There is the hilarious bitter irony of Trump declaring he's willing to take military action against Iran to protect their protesters, while he attacks American protesters here.

You know, I'm not sure.

First of all, I get my news by reading articles, preferably ones that bring me up to date and analyze a situation. So maybe I'm less likely to know about protests than people who get their news from watching videos.

Second, there were already so many protests related to ICE ( Immigration* *and Customs Enforcement) that it's impossible to separate this out as a separate issue.

Yes, I'm in America.

As to what I'd expect - I try, in this forum, to remember modestly that I'm more or less an outsider, and that I shouldn't arrogantly expect American issues to necessarily be of interest in a "foreign" forum. God knows most Americans have little interest in things across the sea. In fact, that's part of the problem with Trump - he's basically insular at heart.

I'm guessing that the Go Fund Me money is intended to provide for her three children.

European media follows American news very closely because the Americans are our military ally. We also like to laugh at the orange cheesy Wotsit and his government. Being crazy/unstable/incompetent is dangerous though.

I mean, people in the UK were - mainly - already convinced that roving gangs of masked, armed men empowered to do as they please was a poor idea.

It's a horrible murder, but it's not the first and it comes after months of attacks on citizens and residents and disappearances worthy of Pinochet.

I'm truly sorry that you are living through this disease of authoritarian rule. I hope to heaven it's not catching.

Not sure, but I think the previous poster was saying there's a GFM for the shooter.
