Trump: ICE officer involved in Minneapolis fatal shooting ‘seems to’ have acted ‘in self defense’

President Trump supports ICE officer's self-defense claim after fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good, amid conflicting videos and official accounts prompting national protests and calls for investigation.

  • On Wednesday, an ICE officer shot and killed Renee Nicole Good inside her vehicle in south Minneapolis, Minnesota during a large federal immigration operation.
  • The Department of Homeland Security announced on Tuesday that it had launched the operation involving more than 2,000 federal officers after months of preparation by the Immigration Defense Network in the Twin Cities.
  • Bystander videos show officers approaching an SUV, firing three times into the vehicle, and the officer walking away, with other angles not supporting claims of being run over.
  • Hundreds of protesters gathered at the scene after the shooting, while Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey demanded ICE leave and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz vowed investigations and issued a National Guard warning order.
  • Amid conflicting footage, DHS claimed the driver tried to ram the agents and called it `domestic terrorism`, but commentators and researchers disputed, saying `This is a sick, malicious lie from Trump`.
