Overview
- Renee Nicole Good, 37, was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on Jan. 7, with DHS calling it self-defense and an "act of domestic terrorism," a characterization contradicted by bystander videos and local officials.
- The FBI is leading the inquiry and Minnesota’s Bureau of Criminal Apprehension withdrew after being denied access to evidence, intensifying scrutiny of investigative transparency.
- Rep. Robin Kelly filed articles of impeachment against DHS Secretary Kristi Noem alleging obstruction of Congress, violation of public trust, and self-dealing, with additional Democrats signaling support despite long odds in a Republican-controlled Congress.
- In New York City, Noem defended the agent, attacked sanctuary policies, and promoted "Operation Salvo," which officials said resulted in 54 arrests tied to alleged Trinitarios affiliates.
- Protests spread in Minneapolis and New York, civil rights groups and local leaders demanded an independent review, and some reports identified the ICE agent in court records as Jonathan E. Ross, a detail still under investigation.
