U.S. Sends Hundreds More Federal Officers to Minneapolis After Fatal ICE Shooting

The move follows disputed official claims of self-defense in the killing of Renee Nicole Good.

Overview

  • Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said hundreds of additional federal officers are being deployed to ensure ICE and border agents can continue operations in Minneapolis.
  • The ongoing ICE campaign in Minneapolis–St. Paul already involves more than 2,000 federal personnel and targets alleged fraud, including within the Somali community, according to DHS.
  • Video from the shooting shows the agent to the left of Good’s vehicle as it turned right when he fired, a detail that Mayor Jacob Frey cites in rejecting federal portrayals of the incident.
  • Senator Tina Smith accused President Trump, Noem, and Vice President JD Vance of trying to shape or cover up the narrative and questioned whether investigations can be impartial.
  • Thousands protested in Minneapolis and in cities including Los Angeles, Washington, Portland, Oakland, Nashville, and New York, and a separate CBP shooting in Portland that injured two heightened tensions as some allies and former officials, including ex-ICE chief John Sandweg, warned against premature defenses of agents.
