FBI Takes Over Minneapolis ICE Shooting Investigation as Unrest Spreads

Bystander videos conflict with the self-defense narrative from federal officials.

Overview

  • Renee Nicole Good, 37, was shot in the head by an ICE agent in south Minneapolis during a large federal operation, and police said she was not a target of any investigation.
  • DHS and President Trump described the shooting as self-defense, with Secretary Kristi Noem labeling it “domestic terrorism,” while Mayor Jacob Frey and Gov. Tim Walz rejected that account.
  • Multiple videos show agents around a stopped SUV as it begins to move and an officer firing at close range; it remains unclear from the footage whether the vehicle struck the agent.
  • The FBI is now leading the probe alone after reversing a planned joint inquiry, prompting the Minnesota BCA to withdraw and complain it was denied access to evidence.
  • Protests intensified in Minneapolis with school closures, arrests, and chemical agents used near a federal site, as demonstrations also appeared in other cities and the governor prepared the National Guard.
