ICE Agent Fatally Shoots Minneapolis Woman in Disputed Encounter

A joint FBI and Minnesota BCA investigation follows bystander videos that local leaders say undercut DHS' self-defense account.

Overview

  • DHS said the 37-year-old driver "weaponized" her SUV and called the incident an act of domestic terrorism, adding that injured ICE officers are expected to recover.
  • Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey denounced the federal account and urged ICE to leave the city, while Gov. Tim Walz labeled DHS statements propaganda and put the National Guard on alert.
  • Multiple bystander videos show agents approaching an SUV and an officer firing as the vehicle moves, with footage raising questions about claims the driver tried to run over agents.
  • Local reporting identified the victim as Renee Nicole Good, 37, and the police chief said there was no indication she was the target of any law enforcement investigation.
  • The shooting occurred during a large DHS surge that sent roughly 2,000 federal officers to the Twin Cities; protests erupted locally and in cities such as San Francisco as the probe gets underway.
