DHS Sends Hundreds More Officers to Minnesota After ICE Killing of Renee Good

Minnesota officials are challenging the FBI’s decision to bar state investigators from the case.

Overview

  • Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said hundreds more federal officers will arrive in Minnesota, with NBC News reporting roughly 2,000 already deployed and a stated focus on pursuing protesters who impede operations.
  • Multiple videos, including one recorded on the shooter’s phone, show Good’s SUV beginning to turn as shots are fired and capture an officer using a slur moments before the killing.
  • President Donald Trump, Noem and Vice President J.D. Vance defended the shooting as self-defense, described Good as violent or a terrorist, and raised the idea of “absolute immunity” for the agent.
  • The ICE officer has been identified as Jonathan Ross, and federal officials have kept the inquiry under exclusive FBI control as Minnesota authorities undertake a separate criminal review.
  • Large demonstrations have spread across U.S. cities, and confrontations outside an ICE facility in Minneapolis included officers using pepper spray on protesters.
