Overview
- Renee Nicole Good, 37, was shot at close range through her windshield during a large ICE operation in the Twin Cities, and witness videos do not clearly show the vehicle striking an officer.
- DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and the White House defend the shooting as self-defense and label it “domestic terrorism,” a claim rejected by Mayor Jacob Frey and Police Chief Brian O’Hara after reviewing footage.
- A newly circulated clip, reportedly recorded by the shooter, shows the SUV moving forward before shots are fired, and outlets identify the agent as Jonathan Ross, with DHS confirming his involvement.
- The FBI is leading the probe as protests and vigils spread, local schools cancel classes, and Minnesota places the National Guard on readiness.
- Legal analysts say any state prosecution would face significant hurdles because federal officers can remove cases to federal court and assert immunity under 28 U.S.C. § 1442 and related precedent.
