Overview
- The 47‑second recording from ICE agent Jonathan Ross’s phone, first posted by Alpha News and authenticated by CNN and a DHS spokesperson, shows moments before the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis.
- DHS and White House officials defend the shooting as self‑defense, saying Good used her vehicle as a weapon, while Human Rights Watch and local leaders call the killing unjustified and cite video analysis and witness accounts of impeded medical aid.
- The FBI is running the investigation and Minnesota’s Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says it has been denied access to case materials.
- A national coalition has organized more than 1,000 protests this weekend; Minneapolis demonstrations led to roughly 30 arrests after police declared an unlawful assembly and reported minor injuries and property damage.
- The confrontation occurred during a large DHS operation that deployed about 2,000 agents, and lawmakers from both parties are pressing for inquiries, policy changes, funding restrictions, and potential consequences for DHS and ICE leadership.
