TODAY 1/25: Plane Banner to Fly Over Denver AFC Championship Game Demanding “No ICE at 2026 Super Bowl”

After ICE’s latest murder in MN, MoveOn banner calls for the NFL to keep ICE out of the 2026 Super Bowl Game at Levi’s Stadium

Denver, CO – This Sunday, January 25, an airplane banner commissioned by MoveOn Civic Action will fly over the AFC Championship game at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, urging the NFL not to allow President Trump’s ICE agents at the 2026 Super Bowl and encouraging NFL fans to make their voice heard.

The banner comes the day after a masked ICE agent murdered Alex Jeffrey Pretti and after another agent murdered Renee Good in Minneapolis earlier this month. As public opinion continues to sour on ICE’s unchecked violence, pressure mounts on the NFL ahead of the most-viewed televised event of the year. A MoveOn Civic Action petition calling on the NFL to keep ICE out of the Super Bowl has more than 150,000 signatures and counting.

WHAT: Plane Banner Demanding “No ICE At Super Bowl. Text MELT to 668366” to Fly Over New England Patriots vs. Denver Broncos AFC Championship Game

WHERE: Empower Field at Mile High, Denver, CO

WHEN: Sunday, January 25, 3 p.m. ET/1 p.m. MT

The plane banner copy will read:

“NO ICE AT SUPER BOWL

Text MELT to 668366”

No Kings Day, Denver

“The American people have had enough of President Trump’s reckless ICE agents murdering Minnesotans, abducting children from schools, and wrongfully arresting pastors,” said MoveOn spokesperson Britt Jacovich. “This year’s Super Bowl should be remembered for big plays and Bad Bunny, not masked and armed ICE agents running around the stadium inflicting chaos, violence, and trauma on fans and stadium workers. The NFL can’t stay on the sidelines, the league has a responsibility to act like adults, protect Super Bowl fans and stadium workers, and keep ICE out of the game.”

“As we can see with our own eyes, Trump’s ICE murdered another person today. President Trump, DHS, and ICE are lying to the American people to cover up state-sanctioned violence. We cannot trust a word out of the Trump administration’s mouths. ICE needs to follow the guidance of local officials and residents and get out of Minneapolis immediately. Members of Congress must show some spine and do everything in their power to hold ICE accountable and save lives, including heading to Minneapolis themselves and blocking DHS funding.”

The 2026 Super Bowl will take place at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on February 8. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem has previously made comments that federal immigration officers would be “all over” the Super Bowl this year. But following aggressive immigration raids carried out in Chicago and Minneapolis, public polling shows that more Americans now describe ICE’s operations as “going too far,” with the majority reporting that ICE is making communities less safe, and saying the agency’s tactics are “too tough.”

The MoveOn Civic Action petition says the NFL has a responsibility to protect its fans – the very people who make the Super Bowl one of the biggest sporting events in the world.

Bad Bunny, who’s slated to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show, previously said in an interview that he did not include the United States in his 2025-2026 concert tour, out of fear that his shows would become raid targets for ICE. He has previously been critical of ICE operations and the Trump administration.

In November, MoveOn Civic Action commissioned a similar plane banner over Levi’s Stadium ahead of the Los Angeles Rams vs. San Francisco 49ers game, displaying the link to the petition.

DENVER, CO — One Colorado, the state’s leading advocacy organization for LGBTQIA+ Coloradans, released the following statement regarding the recent killing of Renee Nicole Good, a U.S. citizen and former Colorado resident, by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The news of Renee Nicole Good’s death is a horrific addition to a year already defined by violence and systemic overreach. Renee was a mother, an artist, a friend, and a cherished member of our Colorado community. We are deeply saddened and outraged by this senseless act of violence.

The Reality of Systemic Violence

The fear and anger vibrating through our community right now are justified. While Renee’s death has captured headlines, we must acknowledge that this tragedy is a reality that Black, BIPOC, immigrant, and transgender communities have faced for decades.

Last year alone, 32 deaths were recorded in ICE custody or involving ICE actions. However, the stories of people of color are frequently overlooked or ignored by mainstream media. Those detained by ICE are often made invisible to the public, allowing systemic corruption and violence to persist unnoticed.

What we allow to happen to one can and will happen to all. We must stand up to those in power who allow this violence to plague our communities. ICE and current federal policies are not making us safer; they are systematically causing harm to minority communities.

The Intersection of Our Struggles

When we advocate for Freedom for All, we are fighting for a future where every Coloradan, regardless of their zip code, documentation status, or identity, is free to live without the shadow of state-sanctioned violence. Central to this mission is the struggle for bodily autonomy, a fight that inextricably unites trans, immigrant, and racial justice movements.

The systems that seek to police trans bodies are the same systems that surveil and detain immigrants and criminalize Black and Brown communities. This violation of bodily autonomy is a shared experience of systemic violence, but it is not felt equally. This reality is even more acute for QTBIPOC and trans and queer immigrants, who live at the intersection of multiple forms of state-sanctioned harm.

Our Vision for Colorado

True justice requires the presence of safety and dignity. We must look beyond the end of state-sanctioned violence and toward a future where our communities are empowered to thrive in safety. We are committed to a Colorado where:

Dissent is protected, not penalized.

Healthcare is a universal right, free from government overreach or discriminatory barriers.

Bodily autonomy is absolute, ensuring that every person has the power to make decisions about their own life and body.

By acknowledging the shared roots of our struggles, we strengthen our collective power to build a Colorado where everyone is truly free to be themselves.

Join the Fight

At One Colorado we know that no single organization can carry this movement alone.

We invite our community to join us in turning our collective grief into lasting change by lifting up and supporting the diverse organizations doing vital work across Colorado.

From grassroots organizers to direct service providers, our partners are on the front lines every day. By supporting this entire ecosystem of advocacy, we ensure that our community’s needs are met from every angle.

Who to Support:

Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition, statewide membership-based coalition of immigrant, labor, interfaith, youth and ally organizations founded in 2002 to build a unified statewide voice to improve the lives of immigrants and refugees in Colorado and the United States. CIRC achieves this mission through non-partisan civic engagement, public education and advocacy to win fair, humane and workable public policies.

Colorado Trans Immigrant Fund, welcomes and offers aid to folks inside and released from detention as they take their next steps!

Casa de Paz, based in Aurora, Colorado, welcomes recently released newcomers, Asylum seekers, and immigrants; we facilitate their next steps towards reunifications with loved ones in a dignifying way.

The Shut Down GEO Aurora Coalition is a community-led campaign of individuals and organizations aiming to shut down the Aurora GEO/ICE facility. The contract for this facility expires in October 2026, and the coalition demands the facility’s permanent closure, the release of those detained inside, and for the space to be reutilized in a manner that serves the broader Aurora and East Denver communities. This campaign is part of a growing national movement of re-imagining a future without immigrant detention, building community, shifting power, and ending the practice of profiting from pain.

Colorado Organization for Latina Opportunity and Reproductive Rights, a Latina-led, community-rooted reproductive justice organization that enables Latine individuals to lead safe, healthy, and self-determined lives, including the right to access abortion care.

Together, we can create the future that all Coloradans deserve.

In solidarity,

The post One Colorado’s Statement on the Killing of Renee Nicole Good appeared first on Yellow Scene Magazine.

Nelson’s Corner

A vicious, radical leftist was shot dead by a heroic ICE agent in Minneapolis this week after she attempted to murder the agent and his fellow officers by running them over with her compact SUV.

Or . . .

An innocent 37 year-old mother of three was murdered by an incompetent, cosplaying ICE agent who resented her failure to instantly comply with illegal orders and attempts to illegally extricate her from her car, without cause or warrant.

So, shall we believe the President of the United States, the Secretary of Homeland Security, many “dignified” members of Congress . . .?

Or . . .

Our own lying eyes?

We know that Trump and his band of merry sociopaths lie like a posse of pre-schoolers caught with fingers in the M&M bowl. But this incident is unusual in that the world has seen videos from multiple angles showing that the ICE version and the shameful characterizations made by Trump et al are, to quote Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, “BULLSHIT!”

The murder victim, Renee Nicole Good, was born and raised in Colorado, graduated Virginia’s Old Dominion University, was a fine poet, and has been uniformly described as kind, generous, and sensitive.

Kristi Noem, decked out in high fashion, cowboy hat and Botox-saturated epidermis, called Good a “domestic terrorist.” I suspect that no human on Earth has called Kristi Noem kind, generous or sensitive. A woman who brags of shooting her own dog is not likely to be a good judge of character.

If you have been spared the video experience, here is an executive summary:

Good’s car was parked in the middle of a snowless, one way street, perpendicular to the flow of traffic. Conjecture supposes she was protesting ICE activities, but there was ample room for traffic, including ICE agents to proceed. ICE agents and onlookers were milling around. An official vehicle arrived, ICE agents got out and briskly approached Good’s car. The first to reach the car aggressively tried to open the driver’s door, yelling obscenities while ordering her to get out.

In a few short seconds, the shooter had gone around the car and stood at the left, front bumper. Good backed up briefly to position the car to drive away. As she turned and tried to flee, she was shot through the windshield, followed by two shots from the side, just for good measure.

Given the real possibilities in this context, one can imagine what Renee Nicole Good might have felt with a small gang of unidentified men with guns drawn surrounding her car and violently yanking the door handle. Countless women, children and men have been abducted and “disappeared.” She was likely aware that being a citizen was thin protection. She had a hell of a lot more to fear than the brute who killed her.

There was no evidence that the shooter was even grazed by the fender as she passed, and he was observed, after her car crashed into a parked vehicle, strutting to the scene and strutting back without having offered any assistance to the dead or dying woman. The video showed the car’s interior, air bag deployed and blood splattered profusely.

Every BULLSHIT rationale offered by the government officials is refuted by video and multiple eyewitness accounts. The somewhat legitimate media, New York Times et al, tiptoed gingerly and refrained from calling it “murder.”

Writing for legitimate media, I’ll offer no such restraint. Renee Nicole Good was murdered in cold blood at the twitchy hand of a unqualified goon who appeared to be looking for any slight provocation that would allow him to fire his surrogate member. Renee Nicole Good had about as much of a chance as Kristi Noem’s dog. And to ICE, and the amoral thugs who enable their wanton violence, Good’s life had about as much value as Kristi Noem’s dog.

Public outrage has flared because the victim is sympathetic, but that detracts from the grim truth about ICE, immigration policy, and the lawlessness of the actions in Minneapolis and elsewhere. This incident would be equally horrifying if the victim had been an undocumented, brown-skinned immigrant.

Like the decaying rot that emanates from a fish head, this culture comes directly from the salmon-colored head of state. From early campaign rallies to daily social media screeds, Trump has encouraged violence against any person who dares challenge his – well, his anything. He too is a thug, just in fancy suits and too cowardly to act on his own orders. I was in Southeast Asia while he pulled his golf socks over his bone spurs, so I have special qualifications to call him a chickenshit. I have seldom typed a sentence this absurd, but I would respect him more if he had the balls to execute his own vile impulses.

There has always been a police inclination to expect immediate compliance with their every directive. It is often necessary, including for their safety. But many, if not most, police officers are trained to modulate this inclination and follow the rules of engagement that are crafted to protect all involved. A well-trained police officer would seldom do what we all saw in Minneapolis. (I recognize the deep irony of that assertion in light of the fact that Derek Chauvin snuffed out the life of George Floyd, only 8 blocks from Good’s murder.)

We have become a third-world nation, streets patrolled by unqualified men with anger issues; locked, loaded and trigger happy.

At least 16 people have been shot by ICE agents, four dead. Another 32 died in ICE custody in 2025. I challenge any reader to name a single one.

A murdered white woman draws disproportionate attention. That doesn’t minimize the tragedy of her death, but it shouldn’t overshadow the deaths of the others.

Perhaps her murder will bring some belated justice for the others.
