Overview
- Renee Nicole Good, 37, a U.S. citizen identified by city officials as a legal observer not under investigation, was shot and killed by an ICE agent during a south Minneapolis operation on Wednesday as video of the encounter spread widely.
- Homeland Security officials and President Donald Trump asserted the agent acted in self-defense, alleging Good tried to run over an officer with her car, a position echoed by Secretary Kristi Noem and DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin.
- Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz rejected the federal narrative after reviewing footage, with Frey calling the self-defense claim “bull----” and telling ICE to “get the f--- out of Minneapolis.”
- Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert devoted monologues to the killing and the administration’s response, with Kimmel displaying provocative T-shirts and Colbert airing Walz’s remarks before discussing legal hurdles with MS NOW host Chris Hayes.
- Local fallout continues with protests and a safety-driven shutdown of Minneapolis schools on Thursday and Friday, as public pressure intensifies over the clash of accounts.
