A bystander video of a fatal ICE shooting in Minneapolis has ignited outrage across the United States, with activists labeling the death of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good an “execution” and demanding transparency from the Trump administration.
The footage, captured on a snowy street amid chaos, appears to show Good’s vehicle reversing away from federal agents rather than charging them, directly contradicting official claims of a “weaponized vehicle” threat.
Eyewitnesses captured raw pandemonium, with one voice screaming, “You shot her in the fucking face!” while others yelled “Shame!” Good’s mother, speaking out in grief, described her daughter as “unarmed and terrified,” insisting she had no connection to nearby protests.
ICE maintains the agent fired in self-defense after Good allegedly tried to run him over; remarkably, the officer survived and is recovering in a hospital.
The killing has fueled demonstrations from Seattle to San Diego, where crowds chanted “Death to ICE” and held vigils echoing “Say her name, Renee Good.”
Tensions are heightened by a DHS report citing a 1,300% surge in assaults on officers, spotlighting deep divides over immigration enforcement.
President Donald Trump weighed in on social media, defending the agent, “The woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer, who seems to have shot her in self-defense.
“The reason these incidents are happening is because the Radical Left is threatening, assaulting, and targeting our Law Enforcement Officers and ICE Agents on a daily basis. They are just trying to do the job of MAKING AMERICA SAFE.”
Critics dismissed Trump’s take, pointing to the video as evidence of excessive force, while supporters rally behind law enforcement amid rising violence.
