Overview
- The FBI’s inquiry into the Jan. 7 killing of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent remains open as the UN urged a rapid, independent and transparent investigation and called for de‑escalation.
- Minnesota, Minneapolis and St. Paul filed a federal lawsuit seeking a temporary restraining order against ICE operations, alleging First Amendment violations and arbitrary, politically targeted enforcement.
- DHS says more than 2,000 arrests have been made since December and plans to send over 2,000 immigration agents to Minnesota, while officials announced hundreds more arriving this week.
- Protests continued nationwide, with reported counts topping 1,000 actions, and federal agents used tear gas to disperse crowds in Minneapolis during tense confrontations.
- The White House and DHS defended the agent’s actions as self‑defense, even as public scrutiny grew, including #BeGood pins worn by Mark Ruffalo, Wanda Sykes and others at the Golden Globes to honor Good and press for accountability.
