A woman was fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer during a targeted operation in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on Wednesday morning. Renee Good, 37, was identified as the victim, who had recently moved to the area with her partner and 6-year-old son. According to federal officials, Good allegedly "weaponized" her vehicle, attempting to run over ICE officers, before being shot by Agent Jonathan Ross.
However, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Governor Tim Walz disputed this account, citing videos from the scene that show Good blocking the street with her car and then driving away, prompting agents to fire at her vehicle. In a news conference, Noem described the driver's actions as an "act of domestic terrorism," while Trump claimed on Truth Social that the woman had "viciously run over" an ICE officer before being shot.
The shooting has sparked outrage in Minneapolis, with local residents taking to the streets to protest and demand justice for Good. The city's mayor called for federal agents to leave the area, citing concerns about safety and the community's distrust of ICE.
According to court records, Agent Ross was involved in a previous incident where he was dragged by an anti-ICE rioter who rammed his vehicle with a car. He sustained injuries at that time as well.
The investigation into the shooting is ongoing, but it remains unclear whether Agent Ross will face charges or discipline for his actions. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension had initially been invited to participate in the investigation but was denied access to case materials and evidence by the FBI.
The incident has raised concerns about ICE's presence in Minneapolis and the city's safety. Governor Walz described the Trump administration's decision to deploy thousands of federal agents to the area as "causing serious harm and spreading terror" through the community.
As the investigation continues, the community is demanding answers and calling for accountability. The shooting serves as a stark reminder of the tensions between law enforcement and immigrant communities in the United States.

This situation is really getting out of hand. I'm so sorry to hear about Renee Good's tragic loss, but at the same time, I'm extremely concerned about Agent Ross's actions. 
The videos from the scene are super telling - it looks like she just blocked the street and drove away, prompting agents to fire. It's not like she was actively trying to harm anyone. 
The fact that Agent Ross has a history of getting into physical altercations is super disturbing, but does that justify the shooting? I don't think so. 
The investigation needs to be transparent and thorough, with all parties involved having access to evidence and information. This is not just about Renee Good; it's about the community's trust in law enforcement and the US government. 
. I mean, a woman gets shot by an ICE officer because her car blocks the street? It seems like a pretty simple situation to me - she's trying to protect herself or something. But then you got these videos from the scene that show her driving away and... it just feels like a bunch of overreaction 
.
. That doesn't exactly fill me with confidence in his judgment or ability to handle tense situations.
. I don't think we should be using words like "domestic terrorism" without really understanding what's going on. And I'm all for holding people accountable, but it feels like there's a lot of rush to judgment here.
... and now we've got the mayor and governor saying federal agents need to leave, but they're still getting paid by taxpayers... shouldn't we be focusing on holding people accountable for their actions instead of just running away? 
like that's gonna make a difference to anyone who lost their life today 
. i'm not saying she wasn't in the wrong, but come on, you don't get to decide what someone's intentions are after one bad decision. it's all about perception here, imo 
.
. And now everyone's accusing each other of lying and trying to spin the story 
. It's like, what even happened here?! 
.
? The fact that ICE agents were deployed in Minneapolis without warning or consultation with local authorities is already a huge red flag 
. And now we're seeing the community come together to demand justice for Renee, but also to question why these federal agents even showed up in the first place 
that our law enforcement is working with our communities, not against them 
. Can we get back to a time when we're talking about keeping people safe, rather than fueling fear and division? 
... I mean what exactly happened here? It sounds like we're getting two different stories from the authorities, which is super concerning 
. One minute you've got the woman running over agents with her car and the next she's a domestic terrorist 
. I mean, what's going on with these officers? One minute they're doing their job, next minute they're taking out innocent civilians for no reason. Renee Good didn't even have a chance to ask for her rights, she was just shot and killed. And now we got videos showing her blocking the street and driving away, so yeah, it's not like she was a threat or anything... 
That's just not true and I'm so done with him making stuff up . The fact that Agent Ross had a previous incident where he got dragged by some dude who rammed his car is wild . You'd think that would be a major red flag for the FBI .
That sounds like a total miscarriage of justice to me. I mean, we're talking about a 6-year-old kid who's just trying to live his life with his mom. What happened to due process? 
It's like they're trying to manipulate the situation to fit their own agenda rather than actually listening to the victims' families and the community. We need more transparency and accountability in this investigation, stat! 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this news... like what even happened here? One minute she's driving down the street, next she's running over these guys and they shoot her? It doesn't add up
