Minneapolis Mayor Presses FBI to Let State Join Probe of Fatal ICE Shooting

The demand follows the release of a brief pre-shooting video that has sharpened competing claims of self-defense versus excessive force.

Overview

  • FBI is leading the investigation into the Jan. 7 killing of Rene Nicole Good, 37, by an ICE agent in Minneapolis.
  • Mayor Jacob Frey says excluding state authorities from the probe "looks predetermined" and urges their inclusion for transparency.
  • A 47-second clip published by Alpha News shows an agent photographing a license plate, an order to exit the car, the vehicle moving, and then gunfire.
  • Vice President Vance reposted the video on X and asserted agents were in danger, calling the shooting self-defense.
  • The local prosecutor asked residents to share any recordings as protests over federal immigration enforcement grew following a separate CBP shooting in Portland.
