Video Context Shows Red SUV Blocking Road The DHS‑released clips capture Renee Good’s red SUV parked perpendicular on a snowy Minneapolis street, horn blaring as she attempts to clear the blockage. Her wife stands on the passenger side, urging Good to drive while officers converge on the vehicle. A dark truck with a flashing light pulls up nearby and two federal officers exit, moving toward the SUV just before gunfire erupts[1][2].

Officer Fires as SUV Moves Forward As the officers approach, Good briefly reverses then accelerates forward, prompting ICE officer Jonathan Ross to discharge his weapon. The 47‑second officer‑perspective video shows Ross holding a gun in one hand and a cellphone in the other before the camera shakes and the SUV crashes into a parked car. Gunshots are audible moments before the impact, confirming the lethal encounter[1][5].

Federal and Local Officials Clash Over Self‑Defense Claim Vice President JD Vance and DHS spokespersons defended the shooting as self‑defense, posting statements that the officer’s life was threatened[3][4]. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and local leaders rejected that framing, calling it “garbage” and demanding accountability[3]. Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty announced a public portal for submitting additional footage, emphasizing that video alone cannot determine legal outcomes[4][5].

Protests Spread Across Cities and Schools Shut Down Hundreds gathered outside a federal enforcement facility in Minneapolis and later in Portland, where a separate Border Patrol shooting occurred the next day[3][5]. The Minneapolis school district canceled in‑person classes for the remainder of the week as a precaution, offering online options amid the unrest[4]. Demonstrators carried signs opposing immigration enforcement, linking the Good shooting to broader national debates on ICE tactics[2].
