ICE agent fatally shoots woman in Minneapolis

Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem accused the victim of “domestic terrorism”.

A US immigration officer fatally shot a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday, prompting protests and a tense standoff between Democrat-run Minnesota and the White House.

The incident occurred at East 34th Street and Portland Avenue, where law enforcement officials had previously clashed with protesters.

Video from the scene shows Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents approaching a dark SUV stopped in the middle of a snowy road. As an agent tries to open the door, the driver puts her vehicle in reverse and attempts to drive away. The agent pulls out a handgun and fires three shots, after which the vehicle drives off and crashes into two other cars parked along the side of the road.

The victim was later identified by her family as 37-year-old Renee Good.

Warning: Disturbing video

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem defended the agents, saying Good was “using a vehicle to try to kill an officer and his colleagues.”

“It was an act of domestic terrorism. An officer of ours acted quickly and defensively, shooting to protect himself and the people around him,” she said.

Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said officers “were conducting targeted operations” when groups of citizens began trying to block ICE vehicles. She said Good attempted “to run over” agents.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey rejected the DHS claim that the shooting was justified. “Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is bulls**t,” he said during a news conference. He added that the agent was “recklessly using (his) power.”



“To ICE: get the f**k out of Minneapolis,” Frey said. “We do not want you here. Your stated reason for being in this city is to create some kind of safety, and you are doing exactly the opposite.”

The shooting sparked protests in Minneapolis. Governor Tim Walz called for calm and restraint, adding that he would deploy the Minnesota National Guard in case of riots. He also urged federal agents not to intervene further.

  1. And the Soro funded terror groups are trying to play the BLM card again. It was an act of self-defense; the woman tried to run over the ICE guy doing his legal job of removing ILLEGAL ALIENS.

  2. There is another camera angle from behind her vehicle, should be shown??

    It is clearly self defense, look at the 6-7000 rpm blast from the exhaust, straight for front ICE agent.

    Quick draw reaction head shot, via to right.

    Usually ICE agents let them go, she did something??

    Sad to see brainwashed idiots like this.

  3. Reminder that this is the same Jacob Frey douchebage who encouraged BLM to burn down half his city and assault & kill whoever they want. The guy is an absolute scumbag.

    And if Walz thinks his pathetic national guard will apparently stand up to US marines while all the state’s paper shredders run 24/7 deleting evidence of fraud, he’s got another thing coming.

    Orange man has the authority to nationalise any state’s national Guard and order them to arrest the governor, the Supreme Court already confirmed that earlier this year.

    • At this stage we have to succumb to the reality of scumbag against scumbag.
      Or douche-bag?
      Or dunce?
      Or deuce, double faced agent of doom?

  4. Is no one else even wondering why entire goon squads are out on the streets terrorizing individual citizens in the first place?

    • They are NOT “terrorising individual citizens”. They are rounding up CRIMINAL aliens who are in their country illegally, which is what their actual, ignored citizens have been demanding for decades (and what their president was elected on).

      The “goon squads” are all those well to do leftist idiots who want to scream obscenities, hurl rocks and run over law enforcement officers doing their jobs. The idiots who expect to do so with impunity because they believe the garbage they read on BlueSky and the propaganda all over mainstream TV.
