Mulaney Cancels Minneapolis Shows After ICE Shooting - entertainment news

Comedian John Mulaney has canceled his scheduled stand-up performances at the Armory in Minneapolis this weekend, citing the recent fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE officer as the reason. The decision was announced following the incident, which occurred during a large-scale operation.

Mulaney expressed his discomfort with performing in the city so soon after the tragedy, stating in a message shared online that the situation “doesn’t sit right with me.” He did not elaborate further on the specifics of his decision but emphasized his sensitivity to the circumstances.

Renee Nicole Good, 23, was shot and killed by an ICE officer on Wednesday, according to authorities. The incident sparked immediate public outcry and renewed scrutiny of ICE operations in the Minneapolis area. Details surrounding the shooting remain under investigation, and authorities have not yet released specific information about the events leading up to the fatal encounter. The Minneapolis Police Department is assisting in the investigation, as per standard protocol for incidents involving law enforcement.

The Armory, a large venue in downtown Minneapolis, was set to host Mulaney’s performances on Friday and Saturday evenings. Ticket holders are being advised to check the Armory’s website and ticket vendor for information regarding refunds or rescheduled dates. Mulaney’s representatives have not yet announced new dates for the Minneapolis shows.

The shooting has intensified discussions regarding immigration enforcement and police accountability within the community. Local advocacy groups have called for a thorough and transparent investigation into the incident and are demanding answers regarding the ICE officer’s actions. The case is expected to draw significant attention from both local and national media outlets as the investigation progresses.
