ICE shooting in Minneapolis ignites protests

On Friday, 9 January 2026, an ICE officer shot and killed 32‑year‑old Renee Nicole Good in a snowy Minneapolis street. Video footage shows Good attempting to drive away from the officers, contradicting the Trump administration’s claim that she tried to ram them. The incident occurred as the Department of Homeland Security had deployed 2,000 ICE agents across Minnesota in a crackdown on immigration. Protesters gathered outside a federal building, chanting Good’s name and laying flowers on a telegraph pole where her car crashed. Local residents, including 29‑year‑old teacher Muna Jama, expressed grief and anger, while Vice President JD Vance offered “qualified sympathy.” The shooting has intensified tensions between Minneapolis residents and ICE, prompting calls for policy review.
