Some celebrities donned anti-ICE pins at the Golden Globes on Sunday in tribute to Renee Good, who was shot and killed in her car by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer this week in Minneapolis.

The black-and-white pins displayed slogans like “BE GOOD” and “ICE OUT,” introducing a political angle into the awards show after last year’s relatively apolitical ceremony.

Mark Ruffalo wore one such pin on the red carpet, and other celebrities were expected to have them on display as well.

Since the shooting Wednesday, protests have broken out across the country, calling for accountability for Good’s death as well as a separate shooting in Portland where Border Patrol agents wounded two people. Some protests have resulted in clashes with law enforcement, especially in Minneapolis, where ICE is carrying out its largest immigration enforcement operation to date.

“We need every part of civil society, society to speak up,” said Nelini Stamp of Working Families Power, one of the organizers for the anti-ICE pins. “We need our artists. We need our entertainers. We need the folks who reflect society.”

Congressmembers have vowed an assertive response, and an FBI investigation into Good’s killing is ongoing. The Trump administration has doubled down in defending the ICE officer’s actions, maintaining that he was acting in self-defense and thought Good would hit him with her car.

Just a week before Good was killed, an off-duty ICE officer fatally shot and killed 43-year-old Keith Porter in Los Angeles. His death sparked protests in the Los Angeles area, calling for the officer responsible to be arrested.

Organizers bring grassroots push to Golden Globes parties

The idea for the “ICE OUT” pins began with a late-night text exchange earlier this week between Stamp and Jess Morales Rocketto, the executive director of a Latino advocacy group called Maremoto.

They know that high-profile cultural moments can introduce millions of viewers to social issues. This is the third year of Golden Globes activism for Morales Rocketto, who has previously rallied Hollywood to protest the Trump administration’s family separation policies. Stamp said she always thinks of the 1973 Oscars, when Sacheen Littlefeather took Marlon Brando’s place and declined his award to protest American entertainment’s portrayal of Native Americans.

So, the two organizers began calling up the celebrities and influencers they knew, who in turn brought their campaign to the more prominent figures in their circles. That initial outreach included labor activist Ai-jen Poo, who walked the Golden Globes’ red carpet in 2018 with Meryl Streep to highlight the Time’s Up movement.

“There is a longstanding tradition of people who create art taking a stand for justice in moments,” Stamp said. “We’re going to continue that tradition.”

Allies of their movement have been attending the “fancy events” that take place in the days leading up to the Golden Globes, according to Stamp. They’re passing out the pins at parties and distributing them to neighbors who will be attending tonight’s ceremony.

“They put it in their purse and they’re like, ‘Hey would you wear this?’ It’s so grassroots,” Morales Rocketto said.

The organizers pledged to continue the campaign throughout awards season to ensure the public knows the names of Good and others killed by ICE agents in shootings.

2 dead in Rochester house fire, authorities say

ROCHESTER, Minn. — Two people were reported dead at the scene of a Friday night house fire in Rochester.

The Rochester Fire Department said that it was called to the fire, at 822 Fox Pointe Lane Southwest, at 10:15 p.m.

There, they found heavy smoke coming from the garage and main floor, as well as flames along the roofline in the rear of the large, single-family structure.

Firefighters fought the fire both inside and outside the house, and additional firefighters went inside to search for people. They found two adults in the home’s garage and brought them outside. Efforts to revive them were not successful, and both adults were pronounced dead at the scene.

The fire was found in the garage and attic, but was extinguished. The cause of the fire remains under investigation. Victim autopsy results were pending.

PWHL: Frost return home to rout Seattle

posted in: All news | 0

It’s been a long journey home for the Frost, playing eight of their first 10 games on the road. Frost fans’ long wait to see them paid off as Grace Zumwinkle and Katy Knoll led Minnesota to a 6-2 victory over Seattle on Sunday in St. Paul.

The Frost were down one of their key players, Dominique Petrie, who suffered a lower body injury against Montreal and landed on long-term injury reserve earlier in the week. With Petrie’s absence, the Frost changed up their lines.

“We make no secret that when you’re part of the Frost, we expect a lot from you, and we need you to contribute,” said head coach Ken Klee. “We switched them up a little bit the other day, and I know we can put different combinations, different players with different people and then when we have injuries, it’s not as big a deal trying to figure out how you’re going to plug holes.”

Zumwinkle led the way for the Frost on Sunday, scoring two goals and just missing out on completing the hat trick late in the third period.

“I think as a line we had a lot of great chances, and I think coming into a game that’s what you’ve got to focus on,” said Zumwinke. “Hopefully you’ll be able to execute on a few of those, and I think today we saw that with all the lines, especially with Katy getting two goals as well.

“She loves to score goals, she’ll tell you that herself. Tonight she had a lot, and obviously two really nice ones,” said Klee.

Part of her success against the Torrent may stem from a bit of sibling rivalry. Zumwinkle’s younger sister, Emily, is a Seattle reserve, and they are the first-ever sisters to play in the PWHL. While Emily didn’t make the trip back home to Minnesota, it still gave Grace a little something extra to get the win over Seattle.

“As sisters, we all love each other. But there’s that rivalry at the end of the day. I know she’s cheering for own team as she should be. But that is that sisterly love and bond we share,” Zumwinkle said.

Knoll was just as much of a pain for the Torrent. She came up big after the Frost made 14 shots on goal and had the advantage of a power play. Brita Curl-Salemme and Taylor Heise were able to set up an excellent pass over to Knoll, who was just left of the goal, for a slap shot that put the Frost up 1-0 in the first period.

Then, in the third period, Knoll caught a long pass from Sidney Morin from behind the Frost goal and into the Torrent’s defensive zone to make it 5-1.

“Always love playing at home,” said Knoll. “The energy is so fun to play in front of and, like coach said, change the lines up a little bit. The way the staff kind of preaches it is you should be ready to play with anyone, and that’s kind of how our system goes.”

Rooney kept the Torrent scoreless until late in the second period, when right wing Jessie Eldridge scored with the right side of the net wide open to make it 3-1. Torrent center Danielle Serdachny would get another goal with just 7:04 left to make it 5-2.

The Frost would also get goals from Heise and rookie Abby Hustler in the third period. Heise and Curl-Salemme both had two assists. Curl-Salemme now leads the PWHL with nine assists.

The Frost next play the Sirens in New York at 6 p.m. CST Friday.

AFC Playoffs: Bills overcome Jaguars

posted in: All news | 0

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Josh Allen took a pounding, doled out punishment and delivered Buffalo its first road playoff victory in more than three decades, 27-24 over Jacksonville in the AFC’s wild-card opener Sunday.

With linebacker Devin Lloyd bearing down on him, Allen found Brandin Cooks for 36 yards just before the two-minute warning and then capped the go-ahead drive with a 1-yard touchdown run in which Jacksonville let him score.

On the play before his score, Allen gained 10 yards on a sneak, refusing to go down while being pushed and pulled to the goal line.

“Just trusting everybody on the field,” Allen said. “Great win, great team win. All we’ve got to do is play our game, find a way to win a football game. We’re on to the next.”

Buffalo will play at Denver or New England next week, a chance to build a road winning streak after a decades-long skid.

“We got to go do it again. We got to go do it again,” Allen said.

Focused on getting rid of the ball quickly and negating Jacksonville’s pass rush most of the game, Allen completed 28 of 35 passes for 273 yards and a touchdown. He ran for two scores, was sacked just once and played turnover-free football. Khalil Shakir caught 12 passes for 82 yards for the Bills.

It was necessary considering NFL rushing leader James Cook was mostly bottled up, finishing with 46 yards on 15 carries.

“You know, we’re going to play for each other, we’re gonna fight to the very last second, and you saw that here today,” Allen said.

Buffalo (13-5) intercepted a deflected pass on Jacksonville’s final drive to seal the victory.

The Bills had been 0-5 on the road in the playoffs under coach Sean McDermott, starting with a 10-3 loss at Jacksonville in the 2017 wild-card round. The Bills had dropped eight consecutive postseason games on the road since winning at Miami in the 1992 AFC championship game. It had been the NFL’s second-longest, active road playoff skid.

The Jaguars (13-5) took the lead with 4:03 to play on Trevor Lawrence’s third TD pass of the game, but they couldn’t hold it against the NFL’s reigning MVP.

Lawrence completed 18 of 30 passes for 207 yards, with TD throws to Brian Thomas Jr., Parker Washington and Travis Etienne. Washington finished with seven catches for 107 yards.

Coach Liam Coen surely will get questioned for not running the ball more against one of the league’s most porous run defenses.

Etienne and rookie Bhayshul Tuten combined for 118 yards on just 14 carries.

Allen, meanwhile, showed his toughness. He twice ended up in the medical tent in the first half but didn’t miss a snap. He got hammered in the head twice during one play, with Josh Hines-Allen landing on the side of his helmet right after teammate Travon Walker tackled him to the ground. His left ear appeared to be bleeding, but he got checked out and returned.

Allen later slammed his right hand into the helmet of right guard O’Cyrus Torrence after releasing the ball. And he completed the injury trifecta when his left leg got bent awkwardly on his 2-yard TD run.

Allen stayed on the ground following that last hit from Hines-Allen and gingerly walked to the sideline and back into the tent. But, as usual, the 6-foot-5, 237-pounder powered through and was back on the field making plays.

The Jaguars had a chance to tie the game at the end of the first half, but Cam Little was wide left on a 54-yarder. The miss ended a streak of 20 consecutive field goals made for the second-year pro from Arkansas.

Little kicked the two longest field goals in NFL history this season — a 68-yarder at Las Vegas and a 67-yarder last week against Tennessee.

He got a chance after the Bills were flagged for being offside following a 34-yard completion that got Little into range.
