Overview
- A cellphone video recorded by the ICE agent who fired, confirmed by DHS and promoted by the White House, is cited by Vice President JD Vance to argue the shooting was self-defense.
- Witnesses and other recordings reported by outlets contend the footage does not show Renee Good trying to run over the agent, and it captures her saying "I'm not mad at you" moments before the shots.
- The agent is identified as Jonathan Ross, who approached the SUV while filming on his phone before three shots were heard and the vehicle crashed into parked cars.
- Hennepin County prosecutor Mary Moriarty has asked the public to submit videos for a local probe, as Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and policing experts question the self-defense rationale and the agent’s tactics.
- Crowds rallied in Minneapolis and other cities, and DHS says the shooting occurred during its largest immigration enforcement operation, involving more than 2,000 agents and over 1,500 arrests.
