"Renee Good was shot and killed by an ICE agent this week in Minneapolis. Footage from the scene shows Good was blocking a roadway for ICE agents when they tried to get her to leave her vehicle. As Good moved her vehicle, an agent let off multiple rounds, shooting and killing her. ICE officials have insisted the officer acted in self-defense and Good used her vehicle as a weapon, but local officials like the Minneapolis mayor and police chief have pushed back against that narrative."
"What I take way from this is for me that's the thing that stands out, that this was a family that could have been like mine. And there are a lot of situations, a lot incidents that have involved ICE, have involved the government over course of the past 13 months in which there is resonance for other families in similar ways"
"the past 13 months in which there is resonance for other families in similar ways and for me it's hard to think about that family being affected in this way and I know that there are lots of other people affected in that way and I think it's important for us to remember the way in which we respond to these things because that's the humanity and that's, I think, fundamental"
Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother, was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis after footage shows she blocked a roadway and then moved her vehicle as agents tried to remove her. An agent fired multiple rounds, killing her. ICE officials say the officer acted in self-defense and that Good used her vehicle as a weapon; Minneapolis local officials have challenged that narrative. Images of stuffed animals in Good’s vehicle’s glove compartment and footage of the scene prompted Philip Bump to become emotional on live television, referencing his six-year-old daughter and urging remembrance of the humanity involved.
