Woman Killed by ICE Agent in Minneapolis as Trump Targets ‘Radical Left’

Renee Nicole Good, 37, was fatally shot in the head in a snow-covered residential area south of downtown Minneapolis, with a family member witnessing the incident.

Federal authorities said an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer shot and killed a driver in Minneapolis on Wednesday during the Trump administration’s latest immigration enforcement operation.

The 37-year-old woman, identified as Renee Nicole Good, was shot in the head in a snowy residential neighborhood south of downtown Minneapolis, in front of a family member. The location is about a mile (1.6 kilometers) from where George Floyd was killed by police in 2020.

The killing was recorded by witnesses and immediately condemned by a large crowd of hundreds of angry protesters.

Thousands of protesters are gathering at the site of the fatal shooting. People are shouting and demanding that ICE leave Minneapolis.

“Shame! Shame! Shame!” and “ICE out of Minnesota!” protesters can be heard chanting against ICE.

Meanwhile, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen described the incident as an act of “domestic terrorism” against ICE officers, saying a woman “attempted to run them over and rammed them with her vehicle. One of our officers fired his weapon in immediate self-defense to protect himself and those around him.”

Trump said it looks like the officer fired while defending himself

Following the incident, US President Donald Trump defended the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer on Wednesday (local time) who shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis while the federal agency was conducting one of its “targeted operations.”

The president accused the “radical left” of “threatening, attacking, and targeting our law enforcement officers and ICE agents on a daily basis.”

The US president said the woman “violently, intentionally, and maliciously” ran over the ICE officer, who then shot her in self-defense.

Trump added that the situation is being fully investigated and blamed the “radical left” for attacking and targeting US law enforcement officers.

In a post on Truth Social, the US President said, “I just watched the clip of the incident in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It is very disturbing to watch. The woman screaming was clearly a professional agitator, and the woman driving the car was very abusive, disruptive, and defiant, and she then violently, intentionally, and viciously ran over the ICE officer, who then appears to have shot her in self-defense.”
