FBI Takes Sole Control of Minneapolis ICE Shooting Probe as Protests Grow

State investigators say they were denied access to evidence, raising transparency concerns.

Overview

  • Renee Nicole Good, 37, was shot and killed by an ICE officer during a federal operation in south Minneapolis, and bystander videos show an agent firing at close range as her SUV moved away.
  • Minneapolis officials say Good was not the subject of any investigation, while DHS and President Donald Trump describe the shooting as self-defense and label the vehicle a weapon.
  • Claims that the officer was run over or seriously injured are contested by footage showing him walking afterward, underscoring sharp disputes over what the videos depict.
  • The FBI is leading an exclusive federal investigation after reversing a planned joint probe with Minnesota’s Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, prompting the BCA to withdraw and drawing criticism from state leaders.
  • Protests have spread in Minneapolis and other cities, with confrontations at federal sites, chemical irritants used, several arrests reported, school closures in Minneapolis, and the National Guard placed on alert as more than 2,000 federal agents remain deployed in the region.
