A federal law enforcement agent has shot and killed a civilian in Minneapolis, Minnesota, during an immigration raid. The incident occurred on Wednesday morning when protesters gathered to protest the ICE agents' presence in the residential neighborhood.
The victim, identified as 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, was driving her car when she was confronted by ICE agents. According to video footage obtained by The Intercept, the agents told Good to "Get out of the fucking car," but instead, they fired at her vehicle, striking it multiple times and causing smoke to billow from the hood.
Good lost control of her car and crashed into another vehicle, before being struck again by the agents' gunfire. The video shows that there was no indication that Good was attempting to run over the agents, contrary to what DHS has claimed. Instead, protesters were seen filming the agents and warning them to leave the neighborhood.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey condemned the shooting, saying that it was "bullshit" and an attempt by DHS to spin the incident as self-defense. Local officials, including Rep. Ilhan Omar and Minneapolis Council Member Soren Stevenson, referred to Good as a "legal observer."
This incident is part of a growing pattern of federal agents using excessive force against unarmed civilians during immigration-related operations. In recent weeks, Border Patrol agents have opened fire on a family in San Bernardino, California; an ICE officer shot a man in Ontario, California; and another agent fired at a TikTok streamer in South Los Angeles.
Good's death is also part of a larger trend of immigrants being killed while fleeing ICE raids. Other victims include farmworker Jaime Alanís Garcia and Roberto Carlos Montoya Valdez.
The Intercept has documented numerous instances of federal agents using excessive force against unarmed civilians, including shooting at protesters, onlookers, and even their own colleagues. The incident highlights the dangers posed by the current immigration system and the need for reforms to protect the rights of all individuals, regardless of their immigration status.

This is just getting outta hand... another life lost because of a botched raid 
. Can't these people just leave us alone? 
Renee Nicole Good's family deserves justice and answers 
. How many more lives gotta get taken before we do something about this systemic fail? 
. It's not about immigration, it's about human beings with feelings and families 
. We need reform ASAP 
.
just saw the vid of that crazy ICE raid in Minneapolis and it's like totally insane 
Renee Nicole Good was just trying to get away from the protesters and they start blasting her car? Like what even is that? 
And the fact that DHS is saying she was threatening them when really she wasn't? It's so messed up 
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said it was a total BS move by DHS to spin this as self defense, and honestly I'm like totally with him on that one 
. It's just a whole lot of BS, if you ask me.
This isn't even some kinda wild west shootout drama - it's real life, folks.
️
. It's just heartbreaking. We need real reform here, not just some PR spin to calm people down. We need to make sure our law enforcement is held accountable for their actions, especially when it comes to immigrants. This isn't right 
.
My friend's cousin is actually in a college that has an international student program and they're always talking about how stressful it is to deal with the constant fear of being deported. This incident is like, proof that their fears are real 
. Anyway, I just want to say that Renee Nicole Good was a human being who deserved to be treated with respect and dignity 
.
I was watching this news with my family and we were all in shock when we saw what happened to Renee Nicole Good. I mean, can you imagine being pulled out of your car and shot by ICE agents? It's like something out of a movie, but it's real life 
.
she didn't deserve that at all... those ICE agents are supposed to be protecting people not hurting them 
.
. The video shows protesters filming the agents & trying to warn them 2 leave the neighborhood 
. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey is NOT HAVING IT 
!
