ICE Agent Fatally Shoots Woman in Minneapolis Amid Immigration Crackdown
A 37-year-old woman was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis during a federal immigration operation, sparking protests and calls for accountability.
On January 7, 2026, during a federal immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis, a 37-year-old woman, Renee Nicole Good, was fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent. The incident occurred near East 34th Street and Portland Avenue, where ICE agents were conducting operations.
According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the ICE agent fired in self-defense after Good allegedly attempted to use her vehicle as a weapon against the officers. However, local officials and eyewitnesses dispute this account. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey condemned the shooting, stating, "This was an agent recklessly using power that resulted in somebody dying."
The shooting has ignited widespread protests in Minneapolis and other cities, with demonstrators demanding accountability and the cessation of federal immigration operations in the area. The FBI and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension are conducting a joint investigation into the incident.
