FBI Opens Inquiry Into ICE Killing in Minneapolis as Videos Dispute Federal Account

Conflicting footage has made the government’s self‑defense claim the central question.

Overview

  • The FBI is leading the investigation into the Jan. 7 shooting that killed Renée Nicole Good, 37, during an ICE operation in Minneapolis.
  • DHS and the White House say an ICE agent fired in self‑defense after the driver used her SUV as a weapon, calling the incident an act of domestic terrorism.
  • Multiple bystander videos, some verified by U.S. outlets, show agents approaching the SUV before shots are fired as it moves, reinforcing challenges from Mayor Jacob Frey and Gov. Tim Walz to the federal narrative.
  • Thousands rallied in Minneapolis with gatherings in other cities; police reported arrests, a memorial grew at the scene, and an online fundraiser for Good’s family surpassed $1 million.
  • The shooting occurred during a large ICE deployment in the Twin Cities that officials say involves roughly 2,000 agents and about 1,400 arrests since early December.
