A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent fatally shot a 37-year-old woman, Renee Nicole Good, in Minneapolis on Wednesday morning. The Department of Homeland Security stated the shooting occurred after the woman, described as a "violent rioter," attempted to run over ICE agents. However, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey disputed this account, accusing the agent of recklessly using power. Videos show the woman in an SUV blocking a street with protestors nearby, and an agent firing as she attempted to drive off. Former President Trump claimed an ICE officer was "viciously" run over and is hospitalized, while Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said the woman was "stalking and impeding" officers. The incident has sparked controversy and heightened tensions surrounding the deployment of ICE agents in Minneapolis as part of a crackdown on illegal immigration.
