Trump Softens Claim After Viewing ICE Shooting Video as FBI Leads Exclusive Probe

An FBI-only investigation has shut out Minnesota authorities, escalating calls for independent access.

Overview

  • ICE agents fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good during a Minneapolis enforcement operation, with multiple videos casting doubt on claims that she ran over an officer.
  • Trump initially told New York Times reporters that Good "ran him over," then, after watching a surveillance clip in the Oval Office, called it "a terrible scene" without reaffirming his certainty.
  • Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem characterized the incident as domestic terrorism and said the agent followed training, while Vice President JD Vance later allowed Good might have been panicking.
  • Minnesota’s Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says it was barred from the case as the FBI takes sole control; the officer was treated and released, and the shooter has been identified in local reporting as Jonathan Ross.
  • Protests continued in Minneapolis and other cities, and a GoFundMe for Good’s family approached $1 million less than a day after the shooting.
