On January 7, 2026, 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good was shot and killed by a federal immigration officer in a residential neighborhood of Minneapolis.

She was a loving mother of three children. She was a writer. She was described as kind, warm, compassionate, and an amazing human being. She had no criminal record. She was not the subject of any investigation, according to city officials. And now, she is dead.

Multiple videos show ICE agents surrounding her vehicle. After a brief standoff, the car reverses and moves forward — and an agent opens fire at close range, shooting repeatedly as the vehicle turns past him. The Department of Homeland Security immediately labeled the woman “a terrorist” and claimed she attempted to kill officers with her car. But Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, Governor Tim Walz, and other local leaders have viewed the same footage and rejected that narrative entirely.

“This was an agent recklessly using power that resulted in somebody dying,” said Mayor Frey. “It’s bullshit,” he added. Governor Walz said plainly, “Don’t believe this propaganda machine.”

The facts are disputed, but the outcome is not: A woman is dead. The federal agent who pulled the trigger must be identified, investigated, and held fully accountable under the law. Anything less sends a chilling message about who is protected — and who is not — when federal power is abused.

The community where this happened is still healing from the murder of George Floyd in 2020. The presence of over 2,000 federal agents deployed under the Trump administration has re-traumatized the city and created a new wave of fear, especially for immigrant families.

We call for a full, independent investigation into this shooting — one that includes Minnesota state authorities alongside the FBI, not led solely by federal agencies who are already defending the shooter. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension must be allowed full investigative authority to ensure transparency, accountability, and public trust.

The ICE officer who killed Renee Nicole Good must be publicly identified and prosecuted.

We also call on the Department of Homeland Security to immediately withdraw ICE from the city of Minneapolis — where their presence has already caused irreversible harm.

There must be justice. There must be accountability. Sign now.
