Overview
- A 37-year-old driver, identified as Renee Nicole Good, was shot by an ICE agent during a large federal operation in Minneapolis and later pronounced dead at a hospital, after police said her vehicle moved as the agent approached.
- The Department of Homeland Security, President Donald Trump, Secretary Kristi Noem and Vice President J. D. Vance describe the shooting as self-defense after an alleged attempt to ram officers, a claim rejected by Mayor Jacob Frey and Governor Tim Walz after reviewing videos.
- Video analyses by the Washington Post and New York Times indicate the agent had moved out of the vehicle’s path and fired from the side, undercutting the federal account.
- The FBI is leading the investigation, while Minnesota’s Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says the U.S. Attorney cut it out of the probe and denied access to evidence, a move Noem defended as a matter of federal jurisdiction.
- Protests continued in Minneapolis and nearby Fort Snelling with some arrests reported, schools were closed for safety, and the shooting occurred during a DHS operation deploying over 2,000 agents for fraud investigations.
