The woman shot and killed at close range by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) police has been identified as 37-year-old Renee Good. It was learned that the young woman had a 6-year-old son, and her social media profile described her as "a poet, writer, wife, mother, and someone who plays guitar poorly" from Colorado. Additionally, it was noted that toys were found in the front of the vehicle that was seen after the shooting.
In Minneapolis, Minnesota, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers shot and killed a U.S. citizen woman in her vehicle during operations targeting immigrants.
"SHE TRIED TO RUN OVER THE OFFICERS"
Tricia McLaughlin, spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, claimed in her first written statement to the U.S. media after the incident that the woman was shot while "trying to run over the police officer." Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem later stated that a woman was "trying to run over ICE officers and hit them with her vehicle," adding, "One of our officers acted quickly and defensively, firing to protect himself and those around him."
"DON'T BELIEVE THIS PROPAGANDA MACHINE"
Minnesota Governor Tim Waltz responded to Noem's statement in a post on the U.S.-based social platform X. Waltz rejected the claim that the woman "used her vehicle as a weapon" before being shot and killed by an ICE officer, stating, "I saw the video. Don't believe this propaganda machine."
"ICE IS NOT HERE TO ENSURE SAFETY"
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey harshly criticized Noem's statements at a press conference, saying, "ICE is not here to ensure safety. What they are doing is creating chaos and insecurity. We don't want them here; they should go away."
THE IDENTITY OF THE KILLED WOMAN HAS BEEN REVEALED
Meanwhile, the identity of the woman brutally killed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers has also emerged. The woman, who was attacked in her SUV, was identified as 37-year-old Renee Good, who had a 6-year-old son.
"WRITER, WIFE, MOTHER..."
The young woman described herself on her social media profile as "a poet, writer, wife, mother, and someone who plays guitar poorly" from Colorado. Additionally, it was noted that toys were found in the front of her vehicle after the murder.
WHAT HAPPENED?
A video shared on social media showed nearby citizens trying to record the ICE officers' operations with their cell phones, where the driver woman was seen watching the events from inside her vehicle in the middle of the road while a police officer attempted to forcibly open the car door.
As the driver woman tried to escape by turning the steering wheel, it was noted that another ICE officer approaching the front of the vehicle drew his weapon and fired three shots at close range. Citizens recording the incident shouted "shame on you, shame on you" at the ICE officers in a violent reaction, while attempts were made to provide first aid to the victim, who had come to a stop after hitting parked cars on the roadside. According to sources speaking to CNN, the Trump administration has deployed around 2,000 ICE officers in Minneapolis to combat immigration.
TRUMP'S SCANDALOUS DEFENSE
U.S. President Donald Trump claimed that the incident in which ICE officers shot and killed a U.S. citizen in Minneapolis was "self-defense."
In a statement on his U.S.-based Truth Social account, Trump commented on the American woman targeted by ICE officers. After expressing that the incident in which the woman was killed was "horrific," Trump stated, "The woman who was yelling in the incident was clearly a professional provocateur and deliberately and ruthlessly drove her car at the ICE officer, who appears to have fired at her in self-defense."
Trump claimed that the responsibility for the incident, in which the woman lost her life from a bullet fired by an ICE officer, lies with the "radical left," asserting that this group targets police officers working on immigration issues. At the end of his message, the U.S. President reiterated his support for ICE officers.
