Nationwide Protests Grow Over ICE Killing in Minneapolis as State Launches Its Own Probe

State prosecutors say the FBI is withholding key evidence in a case now defined by conflicting videos.

Overview

  • Organizers report more than 1,000 rallies planned this weekend under the banner "ICE Out For Good," with hundreds turning out in cities including Minneapolis, Denver, Detroit, and Milwaukee.
  • Minneapolis police detained and cited at least 30 people after hotel demonstrations Friday night, as protests continue in the Twin Cities and across the country.
  • The FBI is leading the federal investigation and has taken Renee Good’s car and shell casings, while Minnesota and Hennepin County opened a separate criminal inquiry and say they are being shut out; Governor Tim Walz placed the National Guard on alert.
  • Bystander and officer-shot videos show differing contexts before the shooting; the officer, identified as Jonathan Ross, is defended by federal officials as acting in self‑defense, a claim disputed by local leaders and civil rights groups.
  • Federal deployment to Minneapolis totals roughly 2,000+ officers in what DHS called its largest operation ever, and a separate Border Patrol shooting in Portland that wounded two people has intensified scrutiny of federal tactics.
