Woman Killed by ICE Gunfire as Federal Operation Unfolds in Minneapolis
A U.S . Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent fatally shot a 37‑year-old woman in Minneapolis Wednesday morning during a federal immigration operation, authorities confirmed. The incident occurred around 9:40 a.m. near Portland Avenue in south Minneapolis. Federal officials stated the agent fired in self-defense after the woman alleged
ly attempted to use her vehicle against officers. However, local authorities, including Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey , disputed the account, citing video footage that appears to contradict claims of a direct threat. Frey has called for transparency and accountability in the investigation. The victim, identified as Renee Nicole Good , was pronounced dead at the scene. Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara confirmed there was no evidence she was the intended target of the operation. Emergency responders attempted life-saving measures before her death was confirmed. The shooting has sparked community protests and intensified scrutiny of ICE operations in Minnesota. Governor Tim Walz urged calm and said the National Guard is on standby, emphasizing the importance of peaceful demonstrations. Federal and local authorities are jointly investigating the circumstances surrounding the shooting. Officials have promised updates as the inquiry continues, and the city awaits further information regarding the sequence of events that led to this fatal encounter. Source: Reuters
