ICE Officer Shoots Mother of Three in Minneapolis, Sparks Immediate Protests and DHS Controversy

Updated (4 articles)

ICE Officer Fires Into Vehicle, Killing Renee Good The shooting occurred at 9:30 a.m. on January 7 when ICE veteran Jonathan Ross stopped Good’s burgundy SUV on a snowy Minneapolis street and fired through the windshield and driver’s side window, striking her chest and arm [1][2]. Good, a 37‑year‑old mother of three, was found unresponsive in the driver’s seat with multiple gunshot wounds, including a possible head injury [2]. Video captured Ross filming the encounter before the shots were fired, and authorities later released a city news statement confirming the timeline [1].

First 911 Calls Document Chaotic Scene and Immediate Response Bystanders called 911 at 9:39 a.m., reporting that an ICE agent had shot a woman who refused to open her car door, and that about fifteen ICE agents were present [1]. Subsequent calls described the SUV crashing into a parked car and the officer remaining on scene in a tactical vest [1]. Emergency responders arrived at 9:42 a.m., performed chest compressions, moved Good to a sidewalk for better access, and transported her to a hospital where she was pronounced dead around 10:30 a.m. [2].

Medical Personnel Face Obstruction From ICE Officers physician on the scene identified himself and requested to check Good’s pulse, but an ICE officer ordered him to step back, highlighting tension between law‑enforcement and medical responders [2]. Incident logs show leadership disputes over command authority, with requests for additional officers as the crowd grew [1]. By 10:03 a.m., the shooting officer had been taken to a federal building, and DHS later announced he was released after hospital treatment [1].

Protests Erupt and DHS Frames Incident as Domestic Terrorism Within hours, demonstrators gathered near the scene, and pepper spray was deployed around 11 a.m. [1]. DHS issued a statement accusing Good of planning a domestic‑terrorist act, claiming the officer fired defensive shots [1]. Federal officials, including President Trump and Secretary Kristi Noem, echoed the terrorism narrative, while video and eyewitness accounts challenged the DHS version [2].

Discrepancies Between Official Narrative and Evidence DHS’s claim that Good intended to use her vehicle as a weapon conflicts with 911 transcripts and video showing the officer firing first and Good remaining seated [1]. The incident has drawn comparisons to previous national reckonings over immigration enforcement, intensifying public scrutiny of federal tactics [1].
