"Viral video footage shows a federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer lethally shooting Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old Minneapolis woman, on Wednesday morning as she tried to drive her car away from ICE agents telling her to "open the f**king" car door so they can apprehend her. Good, who was married to a woman, ended up crashing her car into an electric pole and other cars. She was later transported from the scene of the shooting and died in the hospital."
"The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has claimed that the officer "fired defensive shots" at Good after she was "attempting to run over" him and other agents "in an attempt to kill them - an act of domestic terrorism." Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has called the DHS' claim "bulls**t," calling the agent's actions "reckless" and telling ICE to " get the f**k out of Minneapolis.""
""They killed my wife. I don't know what to do," Good's wife said through tears in footage taken soon after the shooting. "We stopped to videotape [ICE activity], and they shot her in the head." Good's mother, Donna Ganger, told the Minnesota Star Tribune, "She was probably terrified," adding that her daughter has never protested against ICE agents. "Renee was one of the kindest people I've ever known," Ganger added. "She was extremely compassionate. She's taken care of people all her life.""
Viral video shows an ICE officer lethally shooting Renee Nicole Good, 37, in Minneapolis as she attempted to drive away while agents ordered her to open the car door. Good crashed into an electric pole and other vehicles and was later taken to a hospital, where she died. DHS asserted the officer fired defensive shots after Good allegedly attempted to run over agents and framed the act as domestic terrorism. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey rejected that account, calling the agent reckless and urging ICE to leave. Family members described Good as terrified and compassionate and spoke emotionally at the scene.
