A shooting involving an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent and a 37-year-old woman has caused a big argument in Minneapolis. This happened on the first day of federal immigration actions in the city. Local leaders strongly criticized the event. This led to many protests and showed different views on what happened. Federal and local officials have very different stories.
Federal officials say the agent used force correctly. They claim the woman, Renee Good, used her car as a weapon. They say she tried to escape the agents. President Trump and Vice President Vance agree with this story. They showed slowed-down video. They called Ms. Good's actions "domestic terrorism." They also said it was "her own fault." President Trump called her a "professional agitator." He suggested she planned to disrupt the operation.
However, Minneapolis city officials strongly disagree. Mayor Jacob Frey questioned the federal story. Governor Tim Walz and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem also criticized it. They called the Trump administration's story "propaganda." They demanded ICE leave Minneapolis immediately. Minnesota's leaders said the federal government is making the tragedy political. They think it is a way to avoid blame.
Video from The Guardian World showed Ms. Good's car moving away from ICE agents. A podcast host later slowed this video down. This changed video was used by the federal government. Critics say this selective video distorts the truth. They believe it unfairly makes the dead woman look bad.
After the shooting, many people protested in Minneapolis, New York City, and Chicago. They remembered Renee Good and showed their anger. These protests show the shooting's big effect. Many people worry about more immigration enforcement. The different views between the federal government and local leaders have increased tension. This event will likely affect future immigration actions and relationships. The demand for ICE to leave shows local opposition to federal policies.
