Minneapolis Mayor Demands State Access to ICE Shooting Probe, Disputes Claims About Agent’s Injuries

Federal agents retain exclusive control of the case, prompting fresh demands for transparency from Minnesota officials.

Overview

  • Renee Nicole Good, 37, was shot and killed by an ICE agent during an enforcement operation in Minneapolis, and no criminal charges have been announced.
  • The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension withdrew from the inquiry after the FBI declined to share key materials, and Mayor Jacob Frey is pressing for the BCA to be included.
  • Frey defended his profanity-laced condemnation of ICE and rejected administration assertions that the agent, identified as Jonathan Ross, was badly hurt, urging the public to review bystander videos.
  • Trump administration officials defended the agent’s actions, with Vice President J.D. Vance invoking ‘absolute immunity’ and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem saying state investigators lack jurisdiction.
  • Protests spread to several cities following the shooting, and a separate Border Patrol stop in Portland left two people wounded, intensifying calls from local leaders to curtail or remove federal immigration operations.
