Dramatic video shows the moment an ICE agent opened fire and killed a 37-year-old woman Wednesday after she barreled her SUV into the officer’s path in Minneapolis Wednesday morning — as the mayor furiously demanded the agency “get the f–k out” of the city.
The incident has inflamed long-simmering tensions in the city between immigration authorities and local Dem political leaders anti-ICE activists — who have openly defied and harassed federal agents as they enforced President Trump’s immigration crackdown.
In footage, ICE officers approach a plum-colored Honda Pilot and order the driver out of the vehicle after she blocked the path of their truck.
As one of the agents attempts to open the door, she quickly throws the car into reverse before trying to speed forward in the direction of another agent in her path.
That agent dodges the SUV, swings around the side and fires three shots before the car crashes into a white sedan parked nearby on the side of the street and comes to a stop.
Another video taken from a different angle appears to show the SUV strike the officer who fired the deadly shots as he leaps out of the path of the rapidly accelerating vehicle.
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said at a press conference Wednesday evening that the driver, Renee Nicole Good, had been “stalking and impeding” the work of immigration agents “all throughout the day.”
“It’s very clear this individual was harassing and impeding law enforcement operations,” she said
President Trump said in a statement that the agent was hospitalized with injuries from the fracas, and that it’s “hard to believe he’s still alive.”
Hours later, Noem revealed the agent had been released from the hospital and was “spending time with his loved ones.”
Investigations are underway, but Trump said in a statement that Good is the one at fault, and that the shooting was justified.
“The woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE officer, who seems to have shot her in self defense,” he said in a post on Truth Social.
Noem said the officer who opened fire was previously hit and dragged by a protester in June, and the shooting came as “agitators” tried to ram ICE agents with their cars in Minneapolis three times on Wednesday.
