Overview
- Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey defended telling ICE to leave the city and dismissed claims that the agent who shot Renee Nicole Good was seriously hurt, urging the public to judge released videos for themselves.
- At least 29 people were arrested outside a Minneapolis hotel believed to house federal agents, and protests spread to other cities as tensions grew over conflicting accounts of the shooting.
- Federal officials maintain the shooting was self-defense, with some labeling Good’s actions as domestic terrorism, while local leaders reject that narrative and say videos do not support it.
- The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension withdrew after the FBI declined to share needed materials, and Frey pressed for BCA participation to ensure transparency.
- Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, was shot by an ICE officer during a Jan. 1 operation in a city already strained by a DHS surge of roughly 2,000 immigration agents to the Twin Cities.
