Overview
- Renee Nicole Good, 37, a U.S. citizen and mother of three, was shot by an ICE agent during a Minneapolis enforcement action; videos show masked officers confronting her SUV as it moved and an officer firing into the vehicle, with no public evidence confirming the car struck an agent.
- The shooter has been identified as Jonathan Ross in reporting by the Star Tribune and NPR, and Good died of a gunshot wound to the head after her vehicle hit parked cars.
- Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem labeled the episode an act of domestic terrorism and said the agent acted in self-defense, a characterization disputed by Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and other local officials.
- Minnesota’s Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said it was initially asked to investigate with the FBI before being told federal authorities would lead alone, fueling calls for an independent review and access to evidence.
- Large protests and vigils stretched from Minneapolis to Boston, Houston, Austin, Cleveland, Louisville, Baltimore, Buffalo, Tampa, and Watsonville, with demonstrators demanding accountability, policy changes or abolition of ICE, and Minnesota’s governor activating the National Guard for readiness.
