A US immigration agent fatally shot a 37-year-old woman on Wednesday in the city of Minneapolis, but the details of what led up to the incident have left a wide chasm between federal and local government officials. Trump administration officials claim the woman, identified as Renee Nicole Good, was a violent rioter attempting to run over Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents when one agent fired defensive shots into her vehicle. However, city and state leaders, along with national Democrats, are disputing that account. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey stated that this was an agent recklessly using power that resulted in somebody dying, demanding that ICE agents leave the city.
Multiple videos posted on social media show the moment of the shooting around 10:25 local time. A maroon SUV can be seen blocking a residential street, while a crowd of protesters lines the sidewalk. Immigration agents approach the vehicle, ordering Good to exit. One agent opens fire as the SUV attempts to drive off, leading to the vehicle crashing into a nearby parked car.
The incident comes amid heightened immigration enforcement in Minneapolis under the Trump administration. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem characterized Good’s actions as domestic terrorism and called the loss of life preventable. Protests erupted in Minneapolis, with residents condemning the shooting, forming vigils, and calling for ICE to leave. Similar protests are expected in other cities across the U.S. as tensions over immigration policy continue to escalate.
