Overview
- Cellphone footage recorded by the ICE agent, published by Alpha News, shows a close encounter before shots are fired, which Vance cites as proof of self-defense while critics argue it does not show the agent being struck.
- The FBI is running a federal-only investigation into the killing of Renee Nicole Good, and Minnesota’s Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says it was denied access to key evidence.
- Homeland Security officials say Good weaponized her SUV and attempted to run over officers, but verified bystander videos and news analyses indicate the vehicle appeared to turn away as agents approached.
- At a tense White House briefing, Vice President J.D. Vance labeled Good “brainwashed,” tied her without evidence to a left-wing network, and rebuked media coverage, drawing sharp backlash from Democrats, journalists, and legal experts as protests continue.
- Reports have identified the shooter as ICE agent Jonathan Ross, and officials note he was injured in a vehicle-related incident in June 2025, while no criminal charges have been announced.
