DHS Sends Hundreds More Agents to Minneapolis After Disputed ICE Shooting

The surge comes as the FBI maintains sole control of the shooting inquiry despite a separate state probe.

Overview

  • Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said hundreds of additional officers will arrive Sunday and Monday to protect ICE and Border Patrol personnel and sustain operations, warning that interfering with agents could lead to arrests.
  • The Twin Cities already host one of the largest recent DHS deployments, with roughly 2,000 to more than 2,400 federal agents on the ground as part of Operation Metro Surge.
  • Renee Nicole Good, 37, was fatally shot by an ICE officer; federal officials call the shooting self-defense, while Minnesota leaders cite videos they say show her vehicle turning away from the agent.
  • Minnesota authorities have launched their own criminal investigation after saying the FBI refused to share case materials, and local officials continue to press for transparency.
  • Protests continued through the weekend in Minneapolis and across several U.S. cities, with largely peaceful demonstrations alongside isolated clashes and arrests outside federal facilities.
