Nationwide Protests Demand Accountability After ICE Killing in Minneapolis

Federal investigators now control the case without sharing materials with Minnesota.

Overview

  • Thousands rallied nationwide on Saturday—from Powderhorn Park in Minneapolis to Los Angeles, New York and Washington—with organizers citing more than 1,000 planned actions and police reporting 29 arrests in Minneapolis the night before.
  • The shooting of Renee Nicole Good occurred during what DHS describes as its largest enforcement operation in Minnesota, involving roughly 2,000 agents and additional reinforcements.
  • President Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem say the agent acted in self-defense, while widely shared videos and eyewitness accounts reported by media outlets challenge that claim and identify the shooter as Jonathan Ross.
  • The FBI is leading the investigation and state officials say they were denied access to case materials, and three Minnesota representatives reported being turned away from an ICE facility during a Saturday oversight attempt.
  • Congressional Democrats are pressing for investigations, funding restrictions and potential action against DHS leadership, while some Republicans defend the agent and others urge a thorough, independent review.
