Dramatic video shows the moment an ICE agent\u00a0opened fire and killed a 37-year-old woman<\/a>\u00a0Wednesday after she barreled her SUV into the officer\u2019s path in Minneapolis Wednesday morning \u2014\u00a0as the mayor furiously demanded the agency \u201cget the f\u2013k out\u201d of the city.<\/p>\n

The incident has inflamed long-simmering tensions in the city between immigration authorities and local Dem political leaders anti-ICE activists \u2014 who have openly defied and harassed federal agents as they enforced President Trump\u2019s immigration crackdown.<\/p>\n

As one of the agents attempts to open the door, she quickly throws the car into reverse before trying to speed forward in the direction of another agent in her path.<\/p>\n

That agent dodges the SUV, swings around the side and fires three shots before the car crashes into a white sedan parked nearby on the side of the street\u00a0and comes to a stop.<\/p>\n

Another video\u00a0taken from\u00a0a different\u00a0angle appears to show the SUV strike the officer who fired the deadly shots as he leaps out of the path\u00a0of the rapidly accelerating vehicle.<\/p>\n

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said at a press conference Wednesday evening that the driver, Renee Nicole Good, had been \u201cstalking and impeding\u201d the\u00a0work of immigration agents \u201call throughout the day.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very clear this individual was harassing and impeding law enforcement operations,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

President Trump said in a statement that the agent was hospitalized with injuries from the fracas, and that it\u2019s \u201chard to believe he\u2019s still alive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hours later, Noem revealed the agent had been released from the hospital and was \u201cspending time with his loved ones.\u201d<\/p>\n

Investigations are underway, but\u00a0Trump said in a statement that Good is the one at fault, and that the shooting was justified.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE officer, who seems to have shot her in self defense,\u201d he said in a post on Truth Social.<\/p>\n

Noem said the officer who opened fire was previously hit and dragged by a protester in June, and the shooting came as \u201cagitators\u201d tried to ram ICE agents with their cars in Minneapolis three times on Wednesday. <\/p>\n

The DHS honcho called Good\u2019s actions \u201cdomestic terrorist attack.\u201d<\/p>\n

The dead woman was later identified as a 37-year-old Minneapolis transplant originally from Colorado Springs, Colo., who described herself as a mother, a wife and a poet.<\/p>\n

Her mother, Donna Ganger, told the Star Tribune she was \u201cone of the kindest people I have ever known.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was probably terrified,\u201d Ganger added, saying the circumstances of the death were \u201cso stupid.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following the shooting, a distraught woman who identified herself a Good\u2019s wife could be seen covered in blood screaming that the shooting was \u201cher fault.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey shot her in the head. I have a 6-year-old in school,\u201d she said, telling a bystander that they were new to the area and she didn\u2019t know who to call.<\/p>\n

\u201cI made her come down here, it\u2019s my fault,\u201d she said. \u201cThey just shot my wife.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the latest on the Minneapolis ICE agent shooting<\/p>\n

Witnesses and protesters raged as the videos showing the deadly encounter from varying angles made the rounds online, with many questioning whether the officer\u2019s use of deadly force was necessary.<\/p>\n

Following the gunfire, a woman repeatedly screams \u201cno! no! What the f\u2013k? What the f\u2013k did you do? You\u2019re f\u2013king criminals!\u201d<\/p>\n

Later in the footage, blood-spattered snow can be seen as the woman apparently filming approaches the crashed SUV \u2014 where someone is seen leaning over the driver\u2019s side seat from outside the\u00a0vehicle, apparently attempting to render aid to the morally wounded driver.<\/p>\n

The deadly shooting comes amid the largest deployment of immigration agents \u2014 including some 2,000 officers across several agencies \u2014 since the start of President Trump\u2019s second term.<\/p>\n

A furious mob of protesters jammed the area around Portland Avenue and E. 34th Street where the shooting took place, which is less than a mile from where George Floyd died under the knee of former Minneapolis cop Derek Chauvin in 2020.<\/p>\n

Chauvin was convicted of murdering Floyd in 2021 and is serving a 21-year prison sentence.<\/p>\n

At an expletive-riddled news conference following the shooting, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey accused the agent who fired the deadly shots of acting recklessly.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are already trying to spin this as an action of self-defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly: that is bulls\u2014t. This was an agent recklessly using power that resulted in somebody dying,\u201d he said, pledging a full investigation into the incident.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo ICE: Get the f\u2014k out of Minneapolis. We do not want you here. Your stated reason for being here is to create some kind of safety and you are doing exactly the opposite.\u201d<\/p>\n

DHS assistant secretary for public affairs Tricia McLaughlin said the incident happened while ICE was conducting \u201ctargeted operations\u201d when \u201cviolent rioters\u201d began blocking the streets.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the violent rioters weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them \u2014 an act of domestic terrorism,\u201d she said in an X post.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn ICE officer, fearing for his life, the lives of his fellow law enforcement and the safety of the public, fired defensive shots. He used his training and saved his own life and that of his fellow officers.\u201d<\/p>\n

DHS\u2019s \u201cuse of force\u201d policy says federal agents are authorized to use deadly force when dealing with fleeing suspects if they have \u201ca reasonable belief that the subject poses a significant threat of death or serious physical harm\u201d to others, and \u201csuch force is necessary to prevent escape.\u201d<\/p>\n

Embattled Minn. Gov. Tim Walz fired back \u201cdon\u2019t believe this propaganda machine\u201d and promised the state will conduct \u201ca full, fair, and expeditious investigation to ensure accountability and justice.\u201d<\/p>\n

He urged protesters to remain peaceful, but later issued a \u201cwarning order\u201d to the Minnesota National Guard, ensuring they would be ready to be rapidly deployed if the growing protests spiral out of control.<\/p>\n

Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar, who has long been a vocal opponent of immigration enforcement actions in the state, said \u201cICE must stop terrorizing our communities and leave our cities.\u201d<\/p>\n

The incident echoes a similar shooting in October in which US Border Patrol agents shot an armed woman in Chicago who had tried to run them over after they were \u201cboxed in\u201d by 10 other cars.<\/p>\n

A federal judge dismissed charges against the woman \u2014 who survived \u2014 of using her vehicle \u201cto assault, impede, and interfere with the work of federal agents in Chicago\u201d the following month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dramatic video shows the moment an ICE agent\u00a0opened fire and killed a 37-year-old woman\u00a0Wednesday after she barreled her…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":501037,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5122],"tags":[5229,2398,5410,17635,224761,3663,405,403,5226,5225,5228,5227,3677,67,586,132,5230,68,1154,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-501036","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-department-of-homeland-security","10":"tag-ice","11":"tag-minneapolis","12":"tag-minneapolis-ice-shooting-2026","13":"tag-minnesota","14":"tag-new-york","15":"tag-new-york-city","16":"tag-newyork","17":"tag-newyorkcity","18":"tag-ny","19":"tag-nyc","20":"tag-shootings","21":"tag-united-states","22":"tag-united-states-of-america","23":"tag-unitedstates","24":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","25":"tag-us","26":"tag-us-news","27":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115858817905256325","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/501036","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=501036"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/501036\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/501037"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=501036"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=501036"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=501036"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
