American outrage has spilled into the streets of the nation since the killing of Renee Good in Minneapolis last week. Ms. Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, was shot at the wheel of her car by an ICE agent. The Trump administration said immediately that it was self-defence, and that’s the story it’s sticking with. The people marching in the streets – often to their peril or at the very least inconvenience – aren’t buying it.

In Los Angeles, ICE raids over the weekend targeted several neighbourhoods, putting locals “on edge,” KABC Eyewitness News anchor Marc Brown reported on Monday, “reigniting fears that family members will be taken without loved ones knowing where they are.”

Also in L.A. this weekend, the boozy glitz of the revamped Golden Globe Awards offered a potential platform for crucial political messages. Lord knows we don’t need a bunch of privileged actors preaching at us from the ivory tower of the Beverly Hilton ballroom, but the silence about these desperate events was weirdly deafening. What made it particularly strange: The top-winning film, One Battle After Another, is about the very issue in question.
