Summary:
On January 7, 2026, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents shot and killed Renée Good, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen, during an ICE enforcement operation in Minneapolis, Minnesota. ICE has acknowledged that an ICE officer fired the fatal shots. The killing has sparked widespread public outrage, protests, and calls for independent investigation, with video evidence and eyewitness accounts challenging the federal government’s initial narrative.
Full Description
On the afternoon of January 7, 2026, ICE agents were conducting an interior immigration enforcement operation in a residential area of Minneapolis when they encountered Renée Good inside her vehicle.
During the encounter, an ICE agent discharged his firearm multiple times, fatally striking Good. She was pronounced dead at the scene. ICE later confirmed that one of its officers fired the shots and that the incident occurred during a planned enforcement action conducted outside the officer’s assigned field office.
Federal officials claimed the shooting was an act of self-defense, alleging that Good used or attempted to use her vehicle as a weapon. This account was immediately disputed by eyewitnesses and subsequently challenged by video footage
