Rev. Kenny Callaghan was detained the morning Renee Good was shot and killed by an ICE agent. MINNEAPOLIS — A Minneapolis pastor said Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents pointed a gun at his face at a protest. Rev. Kenny Callaghan is the senior pastor at All God's Children Metropolitan Community Church in Minneapolis. He was driving to work on the morning of Jan. 7 when he saw a large crowd on Portland Avenue. Callaghan said he parked his car and walked three blocks toward the crowd and saw several ICE agents. At the time, Callaghan didn’t know why agents were there, but saw agents approach a Hispanic woman, so he went to stand beside her. He heard her tell agents she wasn’t afraid of them. Then, he said there was a wave of energy. It was the news of Renee Good’s death. “I welled up in energy, even more energy than I had, and I said at that time toward those ICE agents approaching this young Hispanic woman, 'take me, take me instead of her, I am not afraid of you either'," he said. Callaghan said an ICE agent approached him and asked him to repeat what he said. “I said I am not afraid and then they pointed a gun in my face, and the crowd was chanting louder and louder, they were also chanting at this time, ‘we are not afraid, we are not afraid.’ ICE put handcuffs on my hands and put me in a black SUV,” Callaghan said. He said while he was handcuffed in the car, ICE agents approached him a few times, asking if he was scared, and he repeatedly said no. Callaghan said ICE agents then asked him for his ID and cellphone. He asked if he was being arrested, and then he said ICE slammed the door and walked away. “A few moments later, they came back and they said, ‘Are you afraid yet? ' and I said ‘no,’ and then they said it ‘Well, you’re White. You wouldn’t be fun anyway.’ And then I was shocked because if I hadn’t seen enough, it was then that I knew that this staging that these ICE raids are really about fear and intimidation,” he said. Callaghan said they had detained him for about 30 minutes, but what happened didn't hit him until after the cuffs were off. “I couldn’t believe it. At the same time, it’s afterwards that I’ve thought ‘oh my gosh’ this happened to me, this is some people’s reality every single day of their lives,” Callaghan said. Even though the experience is hard to process, he said he’s not afraid of ICE. “Does it make me realize my life might be taken at the hands of an ICE agent for simply showing up at a protest, yeah, that might be true. But it’s in my DNA, I have to speak up for marginalized people. I have to speak up for people who are being intimidated and targeted for intimidation,” he said. “Has it made me not want to protest? Absolutely not. I would do it again in a heartbeat.”
