A Minneapolis woman has been killed in a shooting involving Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers during a nationwide crackdown on immigration enforcement operations.
The 37-year-old woman, identified as Renee Nicole Good, was shot in the head while driving away from a stopped vehicle. The incident occurred in front of her family member, who witnessed the shooting.
According to ICE officials, one of their agents opened fire after a suspect attempted to ram them with the vehicle. However, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey described this account as "garbage" and said that the actions taken by the officers were "reckless and unnecessary." The mayor also criticized the deployment of over 2,000 federal immigration officers in Minneapolis, calling it an act of chaos that is sowing distrust.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has accused Renee Good's family of attempting to run down ICE agents. She described this incident as a "domestic terrorism" attack on the ICE officers but acknowledged that there were no prior interactions between Good and the officer involved.
The Minneapolis Police Department, however, did not confirm any aggressive behavior by the woman in question. According to their account, Renee was driving away from a stopped vehicle when she was shot by an ICE agent who claimed self-defense.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has called for calm, urging residents to exercise their First Amendment rights peacefully while also warning against "any show" that could escalate tensions. Commissioner Bob Jacobson of the Minnesota Department of Public Safety confirmed that state authorities will be investigating the incident with federal authorities.
The killing of Renee Good brings a fifth reported death linked to immigration enforcement operations since President Trump's administration began tightening its immigration policies.

The latest incident involving ICE is super disturbing, you know? I mean, a woman gets killed by an officer while trying to drive away from a stopped vehicle and it's like, what even is the protocol here? 
The fact that Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey is calling out the officers' actions as "reckless and unnecessary" kinda validates Renee Good's family's story. 
ICE is just getting more and more out of control. i mean, a woman trying to drive away from a stopped vehicle and gets shot in the head... that's not self-defense, that's just plain crazy 
. and now they're calling it a "domestic terrorism" attack? come on, that's just a bunch of spin 
.
OMG, this is insane! Like, what even happened here?! 
. And then you got all these different accounts and reactions... like, is this really what's going down? 
. It's just another example of how our immigration system can be super messed up 
This is just crazy town, you know? 
. i mean, what even is the point of deploying over 2k federal officers in one city? it's like they're trying to create a war zone 
. we need some answers here and we need them now! 
it's like our country has lost its humanity. i feel for this woman's loved ones, they didn't deserve this 
. It's not just about Renee Good, it's about the message this sends to the community - one of fear and distrust.
. We need to focus on finding solutions that actually help people, not just perpetuate more fear and division. This is just another example of how our immigration policies can go horribly wrong 
. Can't we just have a peaceful discussion about our immigration policies? 
This death is a reminder that immigration policies need to be re-examined and improved so these kinds of incidents don't happen again. 
...and meanwhile, the family of renée good is getting all the blame for what happened...it's not right.
That's crazy talk. And don't even get me started on how much drama Homeland Security Secretary Noem is spewing out about this being a "domestic terrorism" attack 
... they must be going through the worst pain imaginable. And what about this "reckless and unnecessary" stuff from Minneapolis Mayor Frey? 
? That's like, so concerning. We need to stay calm and peaceful, but we also need answers.
