What we know about the fatal ICE shooting in Minneapolis

[Jamaican Pach]

A woman, identified as 37-year-old Renee Good, was shot and killed by an ICE agent during a operation in Minneapolis on Wednesday morning. The incident occurred when the woman allegedly attempted to run over law enforcement officers with her vehicle.

According to Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin, the shooting was part of "targeted operations" aimed at apprehending individuals who were "blocking" or interfering with ICE activities. However, local officials and eyewitnesses have disputed this account, citing videos from the scene that appear to show the woman not attempting to run over officers, but rather blocking her vehicle to prevent them from approaching.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey described the federal government's account as "bull****" and called for an investigation into the incident. Governor Tim Walz also challenged the account of self-defense, saying that he had seen the video footage and disputed the narrative presented by federal officials.

The woman, a U.S. citizen who was participating in her first year as a legal observer at ICE operations, had previously interacted with law enforcement officers but never posed an immediate threat. The incident has sparked outrage among local leaders and residents, with many criticizing the increased presence of ICE agents in the city.

President Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem have defended the officer's actions, describing them as self-defense. However, witnesses and local officials remain skeptical of this account.

The FBI and Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension are jointly investigating the shooting, and Minneapolis Public Schools have announced that classes will be canceled for two days due to safety concerns related to the incident. Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar has called on ICE to stop terrorizing communities, while Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison described Mr. Trump's decision to deploy federal agents as "causing serious harm and spreading terror."

This is just getting out of hand... Can't believe what happened in Minneapolis Renee Good was a law observer trying to do her job, and she gets shot by an ICE agent for trying to protect herself. It's not like she was running over cops or anything . The gov's account is straight up BS . Mayor Frey and Governor Walz are right to call out the feds on this one . We need transparency and accountability, especially when it comes to law enforcement and federal agencies . This incident has sparked a lot of fear and mistrust in the community, and that's exactly what ICE doesn't want . It's time for some real answers from the top .

I'm literally shaking just thinking about this... Renee Good was a 37-year-old woman trying to protect herself from what she thought were law enforcement officers, and the ICE agent shoots her instead? It's like, who gets shot for self-defense in their own city?! And to think it was part of some "targeted operations" with no regard for public safety. I don't get why people are still defending this... it's just common sense - a woman is not gonna try to run over cops unless she feels threatened, and even then, that's not the response you take!

 

[Regal Jetpack Man]

omg u guys this is literally so messed up Renee was just tryna do her job as a legal observer like she was helping to keep ppl safe & now this happens?? the whole thing sounds fishy to me like they made this up to cover their own butts & that's not okay at all i dont care about the politician speak, just get to the bottom of what really happened here. 37 yrs old lives cut short cuz of some dude in a suit who didnt know how to handle himself why rnt we talkin bout systemic racism & police brutality instead of makin excuses for another white man doin whatevs?

 

[Mystic Mountain Climber]

This whole thing is just crazy ... I mean, a woman gets shot by an ICE agent during a "targeted operation" and now the feds are saying she tried to run over cops? Like, what even is that story? The videos from the scene clearly show her trying to block her car from getting approached, not running anyone over. It's just so suspicious... I don't trust the official account at all . And meanwhile, the mayor and governor are calling for an investigation, which is about time. This whole thing feels like a major case of mistaken identity or something went very wrong in that split second.

 

[Ebony Sailo]

This is getting crazy . According to data from the FBI, there were 11 reported fatalities involving law enforcement in Minneapolis so far this year, which is a 27% increase from last year . Meanwhile, ICE operations have been increasing in number by 15% annually since 2018 .

Here's some stats on the Minneapolis police department: 85% of officers have less than 10 years of experience . The city also has a history of racial tension and protests against federal law enforcement actions .

Did you know that ICE operations in Minnesota resulted in 34,000+ stops, 1,700 arrests, and $2.7M in fines in 2020? The average duration of an ICE detention is around 45 days . These numbers don't add up to justify the use of deadly force, if you ask me .

this is so sad Renee Good was just trying to protect herself and she ended up getting shot by an ICE agent I don't think the government is telling the whole truth about what happened, those videos from the scene show her not running over anyone, but blocking her car to prevent them from approaching it's like they're hiding something

and I'm so tired of politicians making excuses for these kinds of incidents Mayor Frey calling out the federal government's account as bull**** is exactly what we need more transparency and accountability
what really gets me is that Renee was a U.S. citizen who was just trying to do her job as a legal observer, she never posed an immediate threat but ICE still shot her

 

[Barbie's Gun Opp]

I'm really worried about what happened in Minneapolis . The fact that an innocent woman was shot by an ICE agent just because she blocked her car is just unbelievable . It doesn't matter if she was trying to run over the cops or not, it's still a tragic situation. I think we need to take a closer look at what really happened and try to find out why this officer made such a fatal mistake . The whole thing feels like a big mess, and I'm just hoping that justice will be served soon .

 

[Poised Peccary]

can't believe what's happening here... Renee Good was just trying to protect herself from what she thought were law enforcement officers and now she's dead it doesn't add up, you know? The video footage shows her blocking her car like 5 times, it wasn't some dramatic, aggressive move, it was a genuine attempt to keep the cops away. And then they shoot her in the head? Unbelievable. The fact that ICE is trying to cover this up by saying she tried to run them over is just ridiculous . We need more transparency and accountability from our law enforcement agencies and definitely not from these corrupt, out-of-touch federal agents

 

[Claustrophobic Surger]

OMG, this is so sad ... I don't think the gov't got it right about what happened here. The vids from the scene show her not trying to run anyone over, just blocking her own car . It's like they're making her out to be a villain or something. And now there's all this backlash and safety concerns in the city... I feel bad for Renee Good and her family . We need to make sure that our law enforcement officers are doing their jobs right, not just shooting first . It's time for some transparency and answers here .

 

[Dynamite Rocket Joe]

This is just so sad and frustrating. I mean, a U.S. citizen, Renee Good, who was just trying to do her job as a legal observer, gets shot by an ICE agent. It's like, what even is the justification for this? The fact that there are videos showing her not trying to run over anyone, but rather blocking her vehicle to prevent them from approaching... it's just so obvious that something was messed up here. And now, all these local leaders and residents are speaking out against ICE's actions, saying they're terrorizing communities. I get it, ICE has been a problem for a long time. But this incident takes the cake. We need some answers and accountability, like, ASAP!

 

[Night of the F]

This is so not right! How can one get killed by an agent just because they blocked their way? I mean, if she was trying to run over the cops, that's a different story, but blocking her vehicle? It doesn't make sense. And what about those videos from the scene? They show it clearly, right? So sad for Renee Good's family and for the whole community that's being affected by this. The gov't needs to get its act together!

 

[Gift]

just watched the footage of that woman trying to block the cops from getting out of their car and it's wild how quickly people are piling on the gov for telling a different story...ICE has been getting a lot of heat for this but it feels like they're painting themselves into a corner with all these conflicting accounts...I don't know what to make of it all, seems like there's definitely room for investigation and transparency here

 

[In Search o]

This is a huge red flag . I mean, what even happened here? The woman wasn't trying to run over cops, she was just trying to protect herself from being approached by ICE agents who were already there for their own ops. It's like the feds are more concerned with showing off their power than actually doing their jobs safely and respectfully.

And what's up with this "targeted operations" nonsense? Sounds like a euphemism for "we're gonna do whatever we want and hope you don't notice". And now, because of one woman who was just minding her own business, the mayor is calling for an investigation and the governor is disputing the official story. This is exactly what happens when we hand over our safety to the authorities... it's like they think they're above the law .

It's also super concerning that President Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem are defending this guy who shot a woman for being "self-defense". What even is self-defense? Trying to drive your car around officers while they're trying to apprehend you is NOT self-defense... it's just plain crazy . We need to get some real answers here, like what exactly happened during that operation and how many times did the ICE agent have to use force before things escalated this far?

 

[My First Viki]

man that's just heartbreaking Renee was just a citizen trying to do her job as a legal observer and this is what happens? it sounds like she didn't even pose an immediate threat, just tried to protect herself... and the gov's account is so sketchy Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey speaking truth to power on that one Governor Tim Walz also got it right, not buying into the self-defense narrative FBI and local authorities gotta get to the bottom of this and make sure justice is served

 

[Obedient Orangutan]

this is so messed up... I mean, what even is the deal with these targeted operations? They're basically using federal power to intimidate people into cooperating with their raids. And now Renee's dead because of it... it's just not right. The fact that they're claiming she was trying to run over officers when witnesses are saying otherwise is just ridiculous. I mean, can't we trust the video footage? It's not like it's some manipulated footage from a Hollywood movie.

And don't even get me started on the whole "self-defense" thing... if someone's trying to block you with their car, that doesn't automatically make them a threat. I mean, come on, use your common sense. It's not like Renee was trying to hurt anyone. She was just trying to protect herself from being pulled over and detained without any probable cause.

It's also really disappointing to see how some politicians are downplaying the incident or even defending it... President Trump and Secretary Noem need to explain themselves on why this officer thought Renee posed a threat in the first place. And what about all the other people who might get caught up in these targeted operations? Do they not deserve to be treated with respect and dignity too?

This whole thing is just so frustrating... how can we trust our law enforcement agencies when it seems like they're more interested in enforcing federal policies than actually keeping us safe?

 

[Annoying Ante]

This is just plain suspicious... I mean, think about it. This woman was just doing her job as a legal observer, right? And then suddenly she gets shot by an ICE agent who claims he was defending himself? It doesn't add up. The vids from the scene show her blocking her car to stop them from approaching... that's not self-defense, that's obstruction! And what about all these witnesses and local officials saying they saw it differently? I'm not buying the official story. Something fishy is going on here...

 

[Brain-Damaged]

Can't believe this ! A 37-yr-old woman gets shot by an ICE agent for trying to block them from approaching her car? That's straight up crazy talk . I'm so sick of these politicians playing it cool when they're clearly hiding something behind their "targeted operations" BS . Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey is speaking truth to power and calling out the feds for their lies, and Governor Tim Walz has got my back on this one . What's really going on here? Was this woman even a threat or was she just another innocent bystander caught in the crossfire? We need answers, not more BS from these politicians .

 

[Sore]

Ugh, what's going on with this woman? I mean, I know she was trying to run people over, but like, didn't the ICE agent have an alternative option ? And why is everyone so quick to believe that she was just trying to block them when we got vids of her actually trying to smash into 'em? It's all super sus for me. The fact that the mayor and governor are going against the feds and calling for an investigation is a good start, though . And what's up with ICE being everywhere in Minneapolis? Can't they see how scary that must be for the community?

 

[Professional]

OMG I'm telling you, something just doesn't add up about this whole thing! First, the woman allegedly tries to run over cops with her car, but then these vids show her blocking her own vehicle... what's going on?! It looks like an excuse to me. All of a sudden, ICE is "targeting" people and now it's a whole thing! What really happened? We're only hearing one side of the story from the feds. I don't trust it one bit...
