WARREN - Demonstrators gathered at Courthouse Square in downtown Warren to protest ICE activities across the country and stand in solidarity with Minnesota after Renee Good was killed by an ICE agent.

The event was organized by Good Trouble Trumbull and the Mahoning Valley Freedom Fighters, two community organizations that coordinate demonstrations around the Mahoning Valley.

Organizer Gary Tuttle says he hopes the protest shows that others are not alone.

"I know there's a lot of people who come out here who say they can't talk to their family or their friends because their mindsets are different, so they come out here to meet like-minded people," he said.

Helana Komsa, executive director of the Mahoning Valley Freedom Fighters, says the protest is one way of building a community with others who disagree with ICE activities nationwide.

"The majority of us do have common ground, and are not in agreement with what's going on," she said.

Other Mahoning Valley residents, such as members of the Mahoning Valley Republican Party, say that not everyone in the community is against ICE.

"At first glance, it seems like something that is intended to create division at a time when we need to have some clarity, respect for the rule of law, and respect for the mission of ICE," said Niki Frenchko, Auxiliary chair of the Trumbull County Republican Party.

Frenchko says she believes political differences are resolved when two parties, such as Democrats and Republicans, identify an overlap in their opinions.

"We need to look at where we overlap and focus on those things in order to advance what's right," she said.

Members of the Trumbull County Democratic Party say they support the protestors.

"I'm glad people are engaged in our community about things that are happening in our Country," said Kathy DiCristofaro, Vice Chair of the Trumbull County Democratic Party.
