Overview

  • Organizers say more than 1,000 rallies and vigils are planned this weekend under the banner “ICE Out For Good,” backed by groups including Indivisible, the ACLU, MoveOn, Voto Latino and United We Dream.
  • DHS leaders, including Secretary Kristi Noem, contend the agent fired in self-defense and labeled the incident an act of domestic terrorism, a claim disputed by bystander video and local officials.
  • The shooter has been identified in media reports as ICE agent Jonathan Ross, whose point‑of‑view video preceded shots fired as Renee Good’s vehicle moved forward, with footage leaving contact with the agent unclear.
  • Minnesota and Hennepin County opened separate criminal inquiries while saying the FBI has taken control of evidence such as Good’s car and shell casings, and no charges have been announced.
  • Demonstrations and policy responses spread to cities including Denver, Detroit, Milwaukee, Boston, Tampa and El Paso, as debate intensified over ICE tactics and the large DHS deployment described as the agency’s largest ever.
