DHS Sends Hundreds More ICE Officers to Minneapolis as Protests Grow Over Fatal Shooting

The FBI is keeping sole control of the inquiry into Renee Good’s death, a move Minnesota leaders say undermines trust and has prompted a parallel state investigation.

Overview

  • Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said hundreds of additional ICE officers will arrive in Minneapolis today and tomorrow to safeguard ongoing operations.
  • Large protests continued through the weekend, with tens of thousands marching in Minneapolis and rallies nationwide; city officials reported about 30 arrests and one minor officer injury.
  • Federal officials say the ICE agent acted in self-defense and that Good used her vehicle as a weapon, while bystander videos and local leaders dispute that the car appeared to be ramming officers.
  • Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey questioned the integrity of the federal-only probe in a Sunday interview and noted state investigators were blocked from evidence, spurring a separate Minnesota inquiry.
  • Minnesota Representatives Ilhan Omar, Angie Craig, and Kelly Morrison said they were denied a facility tour as Democrats push for oversight and Senator Tina Smith calls for ICE reforms tied to DHS funding.
