Protests Sweep U.S. After ICE Agent Fatally Shoots Renee Good in Minneapolis

The FBI leads the inquiry following the exclusion of local investigators.

Overview

  • The administration on Friday released cellphone footage recorded by agent Jonathan Ross to support a claim that he fired in self-defense.
  • Bystander videos circulating since Wednesday appear to show Renee Nicole Good steering to avoid the agent rather than posing an imminent threat.
  • Law-enforcement veterans criticized Ross for filming on a phone instead of relying on a body camera, arguing the choice could have hindered his response.
  • Hundreds gathered Friday outside Minneapolis hotels believed to house ICE personnel, and police said several arrests were made and quickly reversed.
  • Organizers planned nationwide weekend demonstrations under the banner “ICE, out for Good,” as reporting counts Good as the fourth person killed by federal immigration agents since the deportation push, and a separate Portland traffic stop left two people wounded by federal gunfire.
