A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent shot and killed a 37‑year‑old woman in south Minneapolis on January 7 during a federal immigration enforcement operation. The victim, Renee Nicole Good, was a local resident and U.S. citizen. Video footage and eyewitness accounts show the shooting occurred while she was in her vehicle as agents approached.
Federal officials said the agent opened fire because they believed Good was attempting to drive toward officers, posing a threat to their safety. Homeland Security leaders described the action as self‑defense, characterizing the situation as aggressive on her part. Local leaders and bystanders dispute that claim, arguing the video suggests she was moving away when shots were fired.
The shooting has sparked protests and public outrage in Minneapolis and other cities, with critics condemning ICE’s tactics and demanding accountability. Officials say the incident remains under investigation, and no formal legal findings have been released.
