An ICE agent shot 37-year-old Renee Good, a U.S. citizen, during clashes between federal agents and protesters in a south Minneapolis neighborhood Wednesday morning. Officials and witnesses said Good's car was blocking agents; when an ICE agent tried to open the door she put the car in reverse, then drive, and then three shots were fired.
Homeland Security officials claimed Good drove her car into an agent, so the agent shot her in self-defense, but Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said that story is not true, and argues video shows the woman was driving away from agents, not toward them. City leaders said she was a legal observer of federal actions in the city and wasn't a target for an ICE-related arrest.
