"The DHS has said that "rioters began blocking ICE officers" during what it called "targeted operations" near East 34th Street and Portland Avenue. The department alleged that Good "weaponized" her vehicle by attempting to run over agents, labeling her actions as "domestic terrorism" and those of the officers as "self defense," but multiple eyewitness accounts and video footage from the incident contradict this."
"The footage shows Good was attempting to leave the scene by turning right when an agent approached her vehicle from the side and opened fire into her driver's seat window. The vehicle then accelerated, crashing into a nearby light post, with the officer who was seen firing the shots then walking away from the wreckage."
"The 37-year-old poet and mother was killed Wednesday morning in Minneapolis, Minnesota, sending shockwaves across the nation as video of the incident circulated online. The officer seen firing the shots was first identified as Ross by The Minnesota Star Tribune, revealing a firearms instructor who appears to have defended white supremacists online."
Jonathan E. Ross, 43, is an Enforcement and Removal Operations agent with ICE and a firearms trainer who served in Iraq and previously worked for Border Patrol. Renee Nicole Good, 37, a poet and mother, was killed Wednesday morning in Minneapolis. Video shows Good turning right to leave when an agent approached her vehicle and fired into the driver's seat window; the vehicle then crashed into a nearby light post. DHS described the event as part of targeted operations and characterized Good's actions as weaponizing a vehicle, but eyewitness accounts and footage contradict that characterization. Ross has not been charged.
