US EditionMinneapolis ICE Shooting: Federal and Local Officials Spar over Details of Shooting
Federal and local leaders sharply disagree on whether an ICE agent's fatal shooting of a Minneapolis protester was justified amid a 2,000-agent DHS surge.
- On Wednesday, ICE agents shot and killed Renee Nicole Macklin Good, 37-year-old driver, in southern Minneapolis as she attempted to drive away, with videos showing her waving before agents fired multiple shots.
- After DHS launched the operation Tuesday, federal agents flooded Minneapolis following reports of welfare fraud tied to the local Somali community, marking its largest immigration enforcement operation ever.
- Local leaders viewed the video and disputed the federal account of self‑defense; Kristi Noem said the driver 'attempted to run them over' while Mayor Jacob Frey and national media fact‑checks rejected this on Wednesday.
- State officials urged a Minnesota-led inquiry while federal leaders defended their agents; Vice President JD Vance said `I don't care what Tim Walz says` as Minnesota Department of Public Safety Commissioner Bob Jacobson confirmed joint investigation.
- Demonstrations and planned rallies multiplied across cities as protests spread to Lower Manhattan, with New York organizers and local politicians seeking $175 million in Albany and Tim Walz, Governor of Minnesota, preparing to deploy the National Guard if necessary.
