Overview
- DHS and the White House continue to defend the shooting as self-defense, with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem invoking “domestic terrorism” and accusing Democrats of stoking hostility toward immigration agents.
- Witness videos circulating since the incident appear to show Renee Nicole Good steering to avoid the agent, while the agent’s choice to record on a cellphone rather than a body camera has drawn expert criticism.
- The FBI is leading the investigation as local authorities say they are being sidelined, and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey is calling for a neutral, fact-based inquiry.
- Three Minnesota House Democrats, including Ilhan Omar, say they were turned away from an ICE facility while seeking oversight, underscoring tensions over access and accountability.
- Hundreds of rallies organized under the “ICE, out for Good” banner drew large crowds nationwide, as a GoFundMe for Good’s family reached roughly $1.5 million and The Trace counted her as the fourth person killed by federal immigration agents under the current deportation push.
