Woman Killed in Minneapolis ICE Confrontation Identified as Protests Erupt

Authorities have identified the woman fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer in Minneapolis on Wednesday as 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, whose death has quickly become the latest flashpoint in the Left’s ongoing war against law enforcement.

Video of the incident, now circulating online, shows Good inside her vehicle which was blocking a road used by federal ICE agents. Officers approached and ordered her to exit the vehicle. She refused. Instead, she reversed, then lurched forward reportedly making contact with one of the officers before being shot and killed.

Despite this, Democrats wasted no time rewriting the narrative.

Rep. Ilhan Omar whose district includes Minneapolis jumped in early, describing Good as a “legal observer,” though there is no confirmation she held any such role. Democratic Governor Tim Walz condemned the shooting, while Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey offered perhaps the most reckless response of all, telling ICE to “get the f*ck out of Minneapolis.”

This, while the shooting is still under investigation and evidence continues to emerge.

President Donald Trump defended the officer’s actions, calling the situation a matter of clear self-defense. “She was very disorderly, obstructing, and resisting,” Trump said, “before she violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE officer.” The president’s remarks align with footage suggesting the vehicle made contact with the officer just before shots were fired.

Meanwhile, leftist mobs quickly seized on the incident to ignite another wave of protests many turning violent. Anti-ICE demonstrators clashed with law enforcement, prompting police to deploy tear gas and crowd control measures. Governor Walz has mobilized the Minnesota National Guard in anticipation of further unrest.

Once again, we are witnessing the Democrat playbook in action:

• Obstruct lawful federal action by vilifying ICE and other law enforcement agencies.

• Rush to judgment before investigations are complete, framing every incident as state-sanctioned violence.

• Encourage unrest by signaling support for rioters, instead of urging calm.

And yet, beneath all the hysteria, key facts remain: Good was in a vehicle that posed a threat to federal officers. She refused orders. She moved her car. One officer appeared to be struck. Then, and only then, did the officer respond with lethal force.

This is not systemic oppression. This is law enforcement dealing with an escalating threat.

But in Minneapolis a city already reeling from years of left-wing leadership failures facts take a backseat to outrage. In a state where over 4,000 ICE detainers were ignored by local jurisdictions in just one year, it's no surprise officials are more interested in attacking federal law enforcement than defending public safety.

As for Good, her family insists she had no ties to anti-ICE activism. Her mother, Donna Ganger, described her daughter as “extremely compassionate” and said she was likely “terrified.” Their grief is real and deserves compassion. But that doesn’t change the reality on the ground actions have consequences, especially when they endanger officers sworn to uphold the law.

What happens next in Minneapolis could set the tone for how federal officers are allowed to do their jobs in sanctuary cities across America. If Democrats succeed in painting this incident as murder, it will be one more nail in the coffin of American law and order.
