A chilling video has emerged showing the fatal shooting of a civilian by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, sparking widespread outrage and calls for accountability. The incident occurred on Wednesday morning when federal agents approached Renee Nicole Good's vehicle during an immigration raid in a residential neighborhood. Despite claims from the Department of Homeland Security that Good was armed and threatening agents, the video appears to show her attempting to surrender before being shot multiple times.
Good, 37, died shortly after the shooting, with witnesses describing a chaotic scene where protesters had gathered to protest the ICE raid. The incident has raised questions about the tactics used by federal agents during immigration enforcement operations and the safety of civilians caught in the crossfire.
The video shows Good's vehicle blocking federal agents in the roadway before one agent can be seen reaching into her open driver-side window, prompting her to slam on the brakes. The agents then shout at her to get out of the car, with some claiming she was attempting to ram them. However, multiple witnesses have disputed this account, saying that Good seemed to be trying to yield to federal vehicles.
As the vehicle appears to leave the scene, an agent fires at short range directly into the driver's side, striking Good. The video obtained by The Intercept captures the sound of at least three shots being fired.
The incident has sparked widespread condemnation from local officials and civil rights groups, who have accused the Department of Homeland Security of attempting to "spin" the shooting as an act of self-defense. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey described the department's claim that Good was a "rioter" as "bullshit."
In recent weeks, federal agents have been conducting increased immigration enforcement operations in the Twin Cities area, drawing criticism from immigrant rights activists who fear that the city's undocumented residents are being targeted.
This latest incident highlights the dangers faced by immigrants and protesters caught up in these operations. Since last July, The Intercept has documented a pattern of federal agents using excessive force against unarmed individuals during immigration raids, including shooting less-lethal munitions, tear gas, and beating people who are trying to document or protest these operations.
The incident is also a stark reminder of the erosion of civil liberties under the current administration. As one community leader noted, "We're seeing a full-on authoritarian takeover of the U.S. government, where they're ignoring court orders and putting MAGA loyalists in charge of our military and law enforcement agencies."

. I was watching this video and my heart just stopped. it's crazy to think that Renee Nicole Good was just trying to surrender and yet she got shot multiple times by an ICE agent. I can imagine how chaotic the scene must've been, with protesters everywhere and all.
it's like, why are federal agents showing up at residential neighborhoods with guns drawn? shouldn't they be doing this in a safe and controlled environment?
? I mean, come on, the video is clear as day - she was trying to surrender and all these agents are like "no no no" 
. It's not even about whether she was armed or not, it's about the fact that they shot her multiple times for NO REASON. And don't even get me started on the whole "she was a rioter" thing - come on, mayor Frey is right 
. The US government needs to stop trying to cover this up and take responsibility for their agents' actions. I mean, excessive force during immigration raids? That's just not okay 
. We need better policing and more accountability, period 
.
OMG u guys i just saw this video and its so messed up 
ICE is literally using their power to bully innocent ppl 
! Renee Nicole Good was trying to surrender but they still shot her 
. This is not what our country is all about 
. We need to hold our government accountable for this kind of behavior 
. It's time for some real change 
. We can't just sit back and let them get away with it 
. We gotta make our voices heard 
. The fact that they're trying to spin this as self-defense is just ridiculous 
.

renée nicole good was just trying to surrender and she got shot like what even is going on with these ice agents?! 
theyre always saying that people are armed or rioting but the vid shows her calmly trying to get out of her car and then BAM they shoot her i dont think we should just believe whats being said by DHS without seeing the vid for ourselves. this is getting super scary and i hope renée gets justice
