"Two fatal shootings are now central to those questions. Renee Good, a 37-year-old wife and mother, was fatally shot in her vehicle on January 7 by agent Jonathan Ross while attempting to drive away from the scene. The violence by ICE agents against civilians escalated from there, with reports describing an expanded federal presence in Minneapolis and mounting confrontations between agents and residents."
"Then, on January 24, Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse, was fatally shot on the street while helping a woman who had been shoved to the ground by an ICE agent. Pretti was shot by federal agents, with 10 shots fired in five seconds. As of this writing, the officers involved have not been publicly identified, but DHS reported that two who were involved have been put on leave."
ICE agents first entered Minneapolis in December 2025, followed by a larger federal surge in January. The federal presence escalated confrontations, resulting in multiple fatal shootings and aggressive enforcement tactics. On January 7, 37-year-old Renee Good was fatally shot by agent Jonathan Ross as she attempted to drive away. On January 24, 37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Pretti was fatally shot while assisting a woman; agents fired ten shots in five seconds and two involved officers were placed on leave. Videos show Pretti lawfully carrying a gun that did not appear to be used against officers. The events prompted questions about constitutional protections, lawful use of force, and accountability.
