On January 7, 2026, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent fatally shot Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen and mother of three, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The incident, which occurred around 9:30 AM CST on Portland Avenue, quickly ignited widespread protests and drew significant public and political outrage. Federal officials, including Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin and Secretary Kristi Noem, claimed the agent acted in self-defense, alleging that Good 'weaponized her vehicle' and attempted to run over officers, describing it as an 'act of domestic terrorism.' President Donald Trump echoed these accusations. However, this narrative has been fiercely disputed by local authorities and eyewitnesses. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey publicly denounced the federal claims as 'garbage' and untrue, stating that video evidence does not support the assertion that Good intentionally tried to harm agents. Eyewitnesses reported that ICE agents gave conflicting orders to Good, with one instructing her to drive away and another demanding she exit her vehicle. Videos of the shooting, reviewed by multiple news outlets, reportedly show the agent firing into Good's car as it began to move away, casting doubt on the self-defense justification. Good was described by family and the Minneapolis City Council as a compassionate individual who was 'out caring for her neighbors' at the time of her death. The shooting prompted immediate demonstrations, with hundreds gathering at the scene and ongoing protests occurring outside the Whipple Federal Building. These protests have included clashes with federal authorities, deployment of chemical irritants, and arrests. The FBI is leading the investigation, but the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) withdrew its involvement after being denied full access to evidence by the federal agency, raising concerns about transparency. Minneapolis Mayor Frey and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz have condemned the incident and called for ICE to leave the city and state, highlighting the deep divide between federal and local responses.
