MINNEAPOLIS, MN – During a routine immigration enforcement operation, an ICE agent opened fire on a woman who allegedly attempted to ram the federal officer with her vehicle, according to the Department of Homeland Security. The victim, identified as 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The incident unfolded early Wednesday morning in South Minneapolis at the intersection of East 34th Street and Portland Avenue. ICE agents, part of President Trump's intensified crackdown on illegal immigration, were conducting raids when their vehicles became stuck in the snow due to adverse weather conditions. Witnesses and video footage show Good, a U.S. citizen described by some as an "observer" watching out for immigrant neighbors, refusing orders to exit her SUV. Instead, she accelerated toward the agents, prompting one to fire in self-defense.
Newly released video angles clearly capture the moment Good's vehicle strikes an ICE agent before shots are fired, supporting the federal narrative of a justified response to a deadly threat. "The woman attempted to ram agents with her vehicle," stated Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem during a press briefing in Texas, labeling the act as "domestic terrorism."
President Trump weighed in swiftly, affirming that the shooting "appears to be self-defense" after reviewing the footage. "I watched the video, and the ICE agent acted in self-defense," he reiterated, highlighting the escalating dangers faced by federal officers amid constant attacks from radical left elements. Trump noted that assaults on ICE agents have surged dramatically under the pressure of sanctuary city policies.
