Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and other local officials are calling for transparency and an independent investigation into the killing of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old Minneapolis resident, by an ICE agent on Wednesday. Their appeal follows concerns that the FBI investigation is biased after the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) was excluded from participating. Mayor Frey expressed concern that the Trump administration has already labeled the incident as "domestic terrorism" and claimed self-defense, despite video evidence casting doubt on that narrative. Local leaders are urging the Trump administration to embrace the truth and ensure an impartial investigation to avoid further unrest and distrust. They emphasize the importance of involving independent local investigators like the BCA to ensure the findings are credible.
