A 37-year-old Minneapolis woman has been fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer during a raid on her vehicle, which was stopped across the middle of the road in a residential neighborhood.
The incident occurred on Wednesday morning as part of a nationwide immigration crackdown under the Trump administration. According to eyewitnesses, ICE officers approached Renee Nicole Good's SUV, demanding that she open the door and grab the handle. When she began to drive away, an officer pulled his gun and fired at least two shots into the vehicle.
The driver suffered fatal head injuries and died shortly after arrival at a hospital. Witnesses described the scene as chaotic, with people screaming in shock and anger towards the law enforcement officers involved.
Federal officials claim that the shooting was an act of self-defense, but Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has criticized this version of events, calling it "garbage" and describing the federal deployment of ICE agents as "chaos and distrust." The mayor also stated that the woman's death was a tragic and avoidable consequence of the immigration enforcement efforts.
Video footage taken by bystanders shows an officer approaching the SUV before firing on it. President Donald Trump has defended the actions of the ICE officers, describing the woman as part of a "mob of agitators" who attempted to run over the officers with her vehicle.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has called for calm and deployed the National Guard if necessary, while also vowing to investigate the shooting with federal authorities. The Minneapolis Police Chief described the scene but gave no indication that the driver was attempting to harm anyone.
The incident has sparked widespread protests and outrage across Minneapolis, with many calling for an end to immigration enforcement efforts in the city. Federal officials have confirmed that over 2,000 officers were deployed to the Twin Cities as part of the crackdown.

a 37 yr old woman got killed by an ice officer durin a raid on her car 
she was just tryna drive away and the officer pulled out his gun n started shootin 
it's sooooo senseless 
. the mayor is all like "this is chaos and distrust" 
and president trump is defending the officers but like wut r they even doin here? 
. governor walz is tryna stay calm but i think its time 4 a change in minneapolis 
. The fact that they say it was self-defense just doesn't add up. I mean, who opens their car door and grabs the handle while driving? It sounds like an easy excuse for reckless behavior. And what about all those bystanders who were just minding their own business? They must be traumatized to see what happened. The mayor's right though - this is chaos and it's only going to lead to more trouble. We need some real answers here, not just PR spin from the government 
can't even drive down the street without getting killed anymore... meanwhile Trump's just over here like "oh no, the car was moving at 5mph" lol what's next? sending in cops to stop cats from chasing laser pointers? 
, Renee Nicole Good's life was cut short in a split second and now her family is going through so much grief 
. Interesting how the situation has escalated from an immigration raid gone wrong to a full-blown protest and outrage across Minneapolis 
. Trump's comments about the woman being part of a "mob" is just unbelievable, I don't think anyone can defend that kind of language 
. The governor and mayor are trying to keep calm but it's clear this incident has exposed deep-seated issues with immigration enforcement in America 
.
.
. And what about the ICE officers themselves? Were they even following any sort of protocol or training here? It's all just really suspicious and I don't trust these federal officials to be honest with us about what happened 
and now everyone's protesting and stuff, i feel so bad for the family of the woman who got killed 
. We need answers here, not more excuses or blame-shifting
