ICE Agent Fatally Shoots Minneapolis Woman During Operation as Probes and Protests Mount

Overview

• DHS says the driver used her vehicle as a weapon and an ICE agent fired in self-defense, a stance defended by President Donald Trump and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, who called the incident domestic terrorism.
• Minneapolis leaders reject the federal account, with Mayor Jacob Frey calling it irresponsible use of power and Police Chief Brian O’Hara saying there was no indication the woman was the subject of police activity, as they demand ICE leave the city.
• Verified videos show agents trying to pull the driver from a SUV blocking a junction; the vehicle reverses and then moves forward before a third agent fires multiple shots.
• Minnesota’s investigative office is working with the FBI, and Governor Tim Walz has activated state resources, including the Emergency Operations Center and State Patrol, with the National Guard placed on alert.
• The victim was identified as 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, and protests and vigils spread from Minneapolis to other cities as the episode draws scrutiny to an expanded ICE enforcement push linked to prior confrontations and shootings.
