"In a disturbing incident caught on video by multiple onlookers, a woman driving in an SUV covered in bumper stickers blocked traffic on the residential road perhaps as part of an effort to keep ICE vehicles from passing. In the videos, an ICE agent approaches the SUV, yelling: Get out of the car. Get out of the fucking car. He stands at the driver's side, with his feet clear of the vehicle, and reaches into where the woman is driving."
"She begins to drive away, and an officer fires three shots, the last from behind the vehicle as the car pulls away from him. The SUV then crashes into a parked vehicle as onlookers scream in distress. You did a murder, for what? one of the protesters calls out to the agents. The driver, a US citizen who was described by Minnesota congresswoman Ilhan Omar as a legal observer, was declared dead."
"Good is not the first person to be slaughtered by deportation agents in the course of their raids. In September, ICE agents in Chicago shot Silverio Villegas Gonzalez, a Mexican-born father and cook, in the neck at close range as he allegedly fled a migrant abduction operation. He died, too. Non-fatal shootings by ICE agents have also disfigured American citizens and residents and warped their lives."
Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old US citizen described as a legal observer, was shot and killed by an ICE agent during a Minneapolis operation. Local civilians had gathered to block a site where ICE agents were attempting migrant abductions amid a roughly 2,000-officer deployment targeting the Somali community. Video shows an agent approach an SUV, reach into the vehicle, and fire three shots as the car drove away and crashed. The fatal shooting occurred less than a mile from George Floyd’s 2020 murder. Prior ICE raids have produced both fatal and disfiguring shootings.
