A supervisor in the FBI's Minneapolis field office who unsuccessfully attempted to investigate the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent who fatally shot Renee Nicole Good in the city on 7 January has resigned, according to multiple reports. News of agent Tracee Mergen's resignation surfaced shortly before federal agents fatally shot Alex Pretti in Minneapolis on Saturday. Pretti and Good were both 37-year-old US citizens.

Noem spoke with CNN's Jake Tapper about the death of Renee Nicole Good, a queer wife and mother who was shot three times by ICE agent Jonathan Ross while fleeing from him in her car. Despite extensive video footage proving otherwise, Noem has claimed the officer's life was in danger and accused Good of weaponizing her vehicle against him. She even called Good a domestic terrorist.

This video shows ICE officers shoving me and sprayed me in the face with a large quantity of chemical weapons. I was standing there incapacitated and vulnerable from a barrage of chemical pellets they had shot me with moments earlier. ICE gave no orders or warnings. All around me, they were slamming peaceful protesters into fences and into the ground, and moving in formation to isolate and assault anyone who was vulnerable.
