Nationwide Protests Swell After ICE Killing of Renee Good in Minneapolis

State investigators report being blocked from key evidence as the FBI leads the case.

Overview

  • Organizers say more than 1,000 rallies are planned under the 'ICE Out For Good' banner, with large turnouts reported from Minneapolis to Philadelphia and no major unrest at daytime events.
  • Minneapolis police reported roughly 29–30 arrests during hotel-area demonstrations Friday night, while isolated clashes were noted elsewhere, including a reported rubber-bullet injury in Santa Ana, California.
  • Federal officials maintain the shooting was self-defense and accuse Renee Good of using her vehicle as a weapon, but bystander and officer-shot videos show her appearing calm and steering away, with no charges announced against the agent.
  • Minnesota and Hennepin County opened a separate criminal inquiry but say the FBI retains Good’s vehicle, shell casings, and witness interviews, as local prosecutors set up an evidence portal to collect public footage.
  • Vice President JD Vance asserted the ICE agent has 'absolute immunity,' a claim legal experts dispute, while tensions grow over DHS’s deployment of about 2,000 officers and a separate Portland shooting by border agents that intensified scrutiny of federal tactics.
