Activists in Los Angeles are demanding justice for Keith Porter Jr., an African American 43-year-old father of two, who was fatally shot by an off-duty ICE agent on New Year's Eve. His family is demanding transparency in the investigation into his killing. "When he walked in, he brought joy," says Porter's cousin Jsané Tyler. "He always had a laugh, a joke, a smile." Community organizers have called for the arrest of the ICE officer who killed Porter, but local government officials have reportedly told activists they have no intention of investigating Porter's killer. "The community is going to have to mobilize," says Melina Abdullah, co-founder of Black Lives Matter Los Angeles.
