Updated (2 articles)

Officer Fires on SUV, Killing 37‑Year‑Old Mother federal immigration officer shot and killed 37‑year‑old mother Renee Good during an ICE operation in Minneapolis. Video captured the officer grabbing an SUV door and firing at least two close‑range shots as the vehicle moved away. DHS officials say the officer acted in self‑defense after the woman allegedly tried to run him down, while city officials call the shooting reckless. [1][2]

DHS Deploys Largest Enforcement Sweep in Minnesota The operation is DHS’s largest ever in the state, fielding more than 2,000 agents and resulting in over 1,500 arrests. South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem publicly pledged that the agents will remain despite local calls for withdrawal. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota officials demanded the federal team leave, accusing the sweep of inflaming community tensions. [1][2]

Protests Erupt Across City and Nation After Shooting Within hours, dozens gathered at the federal building used as the operation’s base, confronting Border Patrol with pepper spray and tear gas. Schools across Minneapolis canceled classes, and vigils were held for Good, amplifying calls for accountability. Similar demonstrations spread to major cities nationwide, framing the incident as resistance to the broader immigration crackdown. [1][2]

FBI Takes Lead as Fifth Enforcement‑Related Death Recorded The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension withdrew from the case after the U.S. attorney directed the FBI to lead the investigation. Observers note the shooting marks at least the fifth death linked to the administration’s recent enforcement surge, which includes incidents in Chicago, Monrovia, Norfolk, and a July raid. No officers have been charged, and families continue to demand transparent inquiry. [1][2]
