Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and other local officials are urging transparency and an independent investigation into the killing of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent. The incident occurred in a residential Minneapolis neighborhood, where video evidence shows ICE agents approaching Good's vehicle in conflicting orders.
The Trump administration has claimed that the shooting was an act of "domestic terrorism" and that the involved agent acted in self-defense as Good tried to run him over. However, this narrative is disputed by video footage, which suggests a more complex sequence of events.
Frey described it as "concerning" that the Trump administration had already reached a conclusion about the facts of the case before any investigation was completed. He stated that without local investigators involved, any findings by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) would be tainted and could exacerbate unrest and distrust.
The mayor emphasized the need for transparency and justice in this matter, saying that Minneapolis residents demand "truth" and "justice." Protests have continued across the city and other parts of the US following the killing.
Good was a mother of three who was simply dropping off her youngest child at school when she was killed. The incident has brought renewed scrutiny to Trump's mass deportation drive, which has seen an influx of federal agents in communities nationwide.
Critics argue that the administration is using such incidents to further its anti-immigrant agenda and intimidate minority communities. Minneapolis city council member Jason Chavez emphasized the need for an independent investigation to restore trust in the process for local residents.
The killing highlights concerns about bias in the federal government's handling of such incidents and the impact on immigrant communities, particularly those from targeted groups like Somali Americans. The incident has sparked renewed calls for accountability and transparency from law enforcement agencies.

. We're seeing a lot of people jumping to conclusions based on limited information, and that's just not fair to everyone involved 
. 
. And what's really disturbing is how quickly they jumped to that conclusion without giving it any more thought or investigation 
. That just tells me that there might be some other motives at play here.
. Let's not rush into conclusions based on assumptions or emotions. We need to make sure we're doing our due diligence and seeking out all the facts before we start making judgments 
.
... Renee Good was just a mom dropping off her kid at school and then she's gunned down by an ICE agent in broad daylight? It's just not right, you know? 
I mean, the Trump admin's already jumping to conclusions about it being "domestic terrorism" or some other nonsense. Meanwhile, we got video evidence showing a more complex situation unfolding... it's like they're trying to spin this one to fit their agenda.
.
It's really concerning that they jumped to conclusions without even doing a proper investigation.
The fact that this happened in our own city is just heartbreaking. We need to make sure that there's transparency and justice in this case, not some hasty conclusion from the feds. I'm so tired of all these mass deportations and raids... it's like they're trying to intimidate people into silence.
... I'm thinking back to the O.J. Simpson trial and how everyone was all about "truth" and justice then too 
... but we didn't have ICE agents running around, chasing down people in their cars... it's just not right 
... we deserve to know the truth 
I'm so sad to hear about Renee Nicole Good's tragic death 
.
.
. And what about all the other families in communities nationwide who are living in fear of ICE agents? 
. As a parent, you want justice and truth for your child, and that's exactly what Minneapolis residents deserve 
.
.
and to think there are ppl who dont care about these kinds of senseless killings 
they just wanna sweep it under the rug or blame the victim 
but not in Minneapolis, Mayor Frey & locals are demanding truth & justice 
... but let's be real, the video footage doesn't lie 
. I'm so tired of politicians making claims about "domestic terrorism" without even doing their due diligence 
... it's just heartbreaking 
It's time for some real accountability and transparency 
.
. We need a real investigation, not some hasty conclusion from the Trump admin. And what's with Frey saying that FBI findings wouldn't be trustworthy if they don't have local investigators involved? 
We need independent investigations and transparency, not just lip service from politicians. And what really gets me is that this woman was just a mom trying to drop off her kid at school when she got killed 
mayor frey is right, local investigators need to be part of the process 
to make sure it's fair and just 
and informed
