ICE Shooting of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis Triggers State Investigation

State investigators are examining the case following local leaders’ rejection of federal claims that the agent fired in self-defense.

Overview

  • Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen and poet, was fatally shot inside her vehicle during a federal immigration operation in southeast Minneapolis.
  • DHS and ICE say the agent fired because Good used her vehicle as a weapon, a characterization backed by President Donald Trump and Secretary Kristi Noem yet forcefully disputed by Minneapolis and Minnesota officials.
  • Witness videos showing officers surrounding Good’s vehicle and shots fired through the windshield have fueled questions about the federal account.
  • The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is leading the investigation, and the identity of the agent who fired has not been released.
  • Vigils and large street protests followed, Minnesota declared a state of emergency, and local leaders demanded ICE withdraw from the city as a deployment of roughly 2,000 federal agents continues in the Twin Cities.
