FBI Probes ICE Shooting of Minneapolis Woman During Federal Immigration Sweep

Federal authorities call the gunfire self-defense, a portrayal Minnesota leaders say the videos do not support.

Overview

  • The FBI is leading the inquiry with Minnesota’s Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, and the ICE agent who fired has not been publicly identified.
  • DHS officials, including Secretary Kristi Noem, describe the driver as using her vehicle as a weapon, while Mayor Jacob Frey and Governor Tim Walz dispute that account after reviewing videos.
  • Witness recordings show an agent firing at close range into a moving SUV before it crashed; Renee Nicole Good, 37, a U.S. citizen, later died at a hospital and was not an enforcement target.
  • Protests and vigils formed at East 34th Street and Portland Avenue, with local leaders urging ICE to leave the city as public anger over the operation intensified.
  • The killing occurred during a large Twin Cities enforcement push involving roughly 2,000 federal personnel, and the case highlights contested standards for deadly force and potential federal immunity for the agent.
