The Trump administration is sending “hundreds” more federal law enforcement agents to Minnesota to protect ICE and Border Patrol agents as they continue to conduct immigration raids in the wake of Renee Good’s killing.
“We’re sending more officers today and tomorrow. They’ll arrive, there’ll be hundreds more,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem told Sunday Morning Futures.
The decision to send more federal officers comes as Minneapolis mourns 37-year-old Good, who was fatally shot by an ICE officer last week. Massive anti-ICE protests have been ongoing since the shooting and some protesters have clashed with federal law enforcement.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has called on ICE to get “the f***” out of the city and accused federal law enforcement of making the community less safe by heightening tensions.
While protests in Minneapolis and nationwide have been mostly peaceful, Noem has said she is sending more officers to protect immigration enforcement personnel already on the ground.
Meanwhile, the FBI is conducting an investigation into the shooting of Good.
Frey and other Minnesota lawmakers have suggested its findings may be unreliable, given that Trump administration officials swiftly branded good a “domestic terrorist” the day of the shooting and shut out Minnesota law enforcement from investigating the incident.

Billionaire says he wants to donate to GoFundMe for Renee Good's family and ICE agent responsible for killing
05:00 , Josh Marcus
Billionaire investor Bill Ackman said Sunday he wants to financially support both the family of Renee Good and ICE agent Jonathan Ross, who shot the Minneapolis woman this week.
“I am big believer in our legal principal that one is innocent until proven guilty,” he wrote on X. “To that end, I supported the @gofundme for Jonathan Ross and intended to similarly support the gofundme for Renee Good’s family (her gofundme was closed by the time I attempted to provide support).”
“The whole situation is a tragedy,” he added. “An officer doing his best to do his job, and a protester who likely did not intend to kill the officer but whose actions in a split second led to her death. Our country is stronger if we work together to resolve the complex issues that are tearing us apart.”
The lesser-discussed part of Trump's Minnesota crackdown
04:00 , Josh MarcusThe Trump administration’s ongoing immigration operations in Minnesota have grabbed headlines for the recent shooting of Renee Good and the White House’s recently announced plans to surge even more agents to Minneapolis.
In the background, the administration has also used claims of ongoing government fraud in Minnesota to justify a multi-state attempt to freeze federal child care funds to Democrat-run states.
A federal judge on Friday blocked the plan.

DHS blames Renee Good shooting on 'sanctuary politicians'
03:00 , Josh MarcusThe Department of Homeland Security on Sunday blamed the Renee Good shooting on the Democrats.
“Tragically, on Wednesday, we saw the direct consequences of constant attacks and demonization of our officers by sanctuary politicians,” DHS officials Harry Fones said in a video statement on X.
Trump administration officials have blamed everything from Democratic rhetoric, to a shadowy, ill-defined Democratic conspiracy to recruit agitators, for the shooting.
Sanctuary cities refer to jurisdictions that don’t mandate police and jails cooperate with federal immigration officials. Leaders in these cities say blending local policing with federal immigration enforcement is a burden on resources and erodes community trust in police.
Fact-checking Stephen Miller's claim on support for deportations
02:00 , Josh MarcusTrump administration officials were across social media and the Sunday news shows defending the president’s polarizing immigration agenda.
“Americans voted overwhelmingly for mass deportation,” Miller wrote on X. “Congress passed laws requiring it and then passed new legislation to fully fund it. The response of the Democrat Party and its activists has been to support and orchestrate violent resistance against federal law enforcement.”
Almost none of this is fully true.
Donald Trump won the 2024 election with one of the smallest popular vote margins in U.S. history.
Polling released last month from Pew Research Center suggests 50 percent of Americans disapprove of the president’s immigration approach, compared with 39 percent who approve of it.
Immigration law actually gives the federal government considerable flexibility about how to prosecute immigration violations, which are typically civil and not criminal offenses.
Past Democratic administrations, for instances, have focused less on mass detention and put a higher premium on targeting immigrants wanted for serious crimes, while about three-quarters of those in immigration detention at the end of last year had no criminal conviction.
Moreover, there’s no evidence the Democratic Party is orchestrating violent resistance against the government, though the Trump administration frequently argues fervent criticism of immigration officials is driving violent threats against officers.
Portland police officer reassigned for comments on ICE shooting

In a video captured Friday outside an ICE facility in Portland, protesters ask an officer about the shooting, and he responds, “Sometimes criminals get shot if they threaten a cop.”
The comments struck a nerve in the city, where Border Patrol agents shot and wounded two people on Thursday, just a day after Good was killed.

Everyone's accusing everyone else of politicizing ICE enforcement in Minnesota
00:00 , Josh MarcusSpeaking with Fox News on Sunday, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem issued what has by now become a familiar response to the ongoing Minnesota crisis: the other side is politicizing it for all the wrong reasons.
In an interview with host Maria Bartiromo, Noem slammed Minnesota leaders like Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey.
She alleged the Democratic lawmakers, who have sharply criticized her agency’s military-style enforcement tactics, were siding with rapists and pedophiles and trying to take away Americans’ freedoms. She also alleged Walz is speaking out to distract from an ongoing corruption scandal in the state, which his administration has been in fact been prosecuting for years.
ICE isn’t the problem. The problem is sanctuary politicians and the violent criminal illegal aliens they protect.

“Its really really horrific that we have elected officials that are using this as an opportunity to divide, using to promote an agenda that fundamentally would take away our freedom and our liberty in this country,” Noem said.
“I can’t believe that the mayor and the governor can defend allowing those people to go out there and victimize more of our children and grandchildren,” Noem added.
Her comments mirror those from across the political spectrum, where multiple voices have accused multiple sides of trying to make political gains out of Renee Good’s killing.
Tucker Carlson has slammed his fellow conservatives for failing to see the shooting “through a human lens,” while Frey has accused the Trump administration of deliberately politicizing immigration enforcement in order to create a pretext for further armed intervention.

23:00 , Ariana BaioIllinois Governor JB Pritzker accused the administration of circumventing due process in immigration enforcement – becoming the latest Democratic voice to raise concern about the FBI’s investigation into the shooting of Renee Good.
“Let me just say, though, when you have video, as you do in Minneapolis, when you have eyewitness testimony, from people, it seems like there’s a whole lot of evidence,” Pritzker told CNN Sunday.
“There should, in fact, be due process, but that’s not something the Trump administration believes in,” the Illinois governor added.

ICYMI: Video reportedly filmed by ICE agent shows deadly Minnesota encounter
21:40 , Brendan Rasciusfrom the perspective of the agent who fired the shots has been published online.
Alpha News, a Minnesota-based site, posted footage Friday that appeared to be from the perspective of Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who shot Renee Good.
The video is seen from the perspective of the person filming as they step out of a vehicle and walk toward a maroon SUV, where a dog is sitting in the back seat.
"That’s fine dude...I'm not mad,” says a woman, who is smiling and sitting in the driver's seat, as the person filming approaches the driver’s side door. She is not identified in the video but it is believed to be Renee Good.
The person filming then walks towards the back of the car. A reflection of the person recording, on the car’s window and rear panel, shows a man with his face half-covered with a neck gaiter and holding a cellphone. That man appears to be Ross.

21:00 , Ariana BaioHomeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Sunday morning the Trump administration was planning to send more federal agents to Minnesota to protect immigration law enforcement.
“We’re sending more officers today and tomorrow, they’ll arrive, there’ll be hundreds more in order to allow our ICE and our Border Patrol individuals that are working in Minneapolis to do so safely,” Noem told Sunday Morning Futures.
Noem said that any protesters who “conduct violent activities” against law enforcement will be held accountable.
Minnesota rep says visit to detention facility was ‘quiet’
20:30 , Ariana BaioMinnesota Rep. Kelly Morrison pushed back on any allegations that she and two other lawmakers planned a visit to a Minneapolis detention facility to generate publicity, saying that it was done quietly.
“We were very quiet, actually, about when we were going to go,” Morrison told MSNOW Sunday.
Morrison and her colleagues, Reps. Ilhan Omar and Angie Craig, were turned away from the facility Saturday after attempting to view its conditions.
“We made no contact with any protesters,” Morrison added. “We were met, when we came up to the gates of the facility, with a phalanx of about 25 armed officers who were quite menacing in their approach.”
After the attempted visit, Noem released a new memo claiming lawmakers needed to give a seven-day notice before visiting a facility. She said that was necessary to ensure security for lawmakers, congressional staff, detainees and ICE employees.
But Noem also claimed, "there is an increasing trend of replacing legitimate oversight activities with circus-like publicity stunts, all of which creates a chaotic environment with heightened emotions."

“This memo, drafted in secret, is an attempt by DHS to block members of Congress from conducting oversight of ICE facilities, as is their duty under federal law,” Democracy Forward said on X.
The group indicated they plan to question DHS about the new memo in court after a judge ruled last month that the department could not block lawmakers from viewing detention centers.

ICE director says not all officers have body cameras
18:00 , Ariana BaioWhen asked about the body camera footage from the ICE officer who shot Good, Lyons said that not all officers have body cameras due to a lack of funding.
“We’re still in the process of deploying body cameras for all law enforcement officers. Unfortunately, under the last administration, we didn’t have the funding. Only our special response team had that,” Lyons told Fox News’s The Sunday Briefing.
“But the officer made that decision, his team, that they were going to arrest agitators that day. That’s why he was recording,” Lyons added.
ICE director pushes back on Frey’s claim that ICE responsible for ‘50 percent’ of shootings
17:45 , Ariana BaioTodd Lyons, the acting director of ICE, pushed back on Minneapolis Mayor’s claim that ICE was responsible for “50 percent” of shootings in the city this year, so far.
“To me, that’s just, again, this heated political rhetoric that just doesn’t need to be,” Lyons told Fox News’ The Sunday Briefing.
“No law enforcement officer wants to be involved in any deadly force situation and like I’ve always said, since the beginning of this, our hearts and minds and prayers go out to all involved in the situation. But, to categorically say that more than half of the shootings are because of us, that’s ridiculous,” Lyons added.
According to Minneapolis crime statistics, there have been two documented “shots fired” calls for shootings between January 1, 2026, and January 9, 2026. One of those was likely the shooting of Renee Good.
Frey says ‘deep mistrust’ in government’s investigation of shooting
17:30 , Ariana BaioAsked whether he would accept the results of the FBI’s investigation into the fatal shooting of Renee Good, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said there is “deep mistrust” that it would come to unbiased conclusions.
“If it was an FBI investigation that was done jointly with an investigation from the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, we could have had some trust that there were entities and individuals at the table that were properly reviewing the evidence,” Frey told NBC News’ Meet the Press Sunday.
“I don't know what the results of the investigation will be. I don't know what the evidence behind the investigation will be, other than, of course, the videos that we've all seen with our own two eyes. What I will say is there is deep mistrust because so many of the things that we are hearing are not true,” Frey added.
Frey pointed to Trump administration officials’ claims that Good “ran over” the ICE officer who discharged his weapon.
“For instance: Did the ICE agent get run over? Guys, the answer is no. It didn't happen,” Frey added.
Minnesota senator casts doubt on government's objectivity in investigation
17:00 , Ariana BaioMinnesota Senator Tina Smith questioned how the federal government could be objective when investigating the killing of 37-year-old Renee Good when they’ve already made conclusions about the shooting.
“How can we trust the federal government to do an objective, unbiased investigation without prejudice when, at the beginning of that investigation, they have already announced exactly what they think happened?” Smith asked on ABC News’ This Week Sunday morning.
“I mean, I think they have just completely destroyed any credibility as they have so quickly rushed to judgment.
Mayor Frey: ‘50 percent’ of Minneapolis shootings this year are ‘from ICE’
16:45 , Ariana BaioMinneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey reiterated his claim that federal law enforcement is making his city less safe and forcing local law enforcement to redirect their attention away from local crime.
“I do not want our police officers spending time working with ICE on immigration enforcement,” Frey told NBC News’ Meet the Press Sunday morning.
“You know what I want our police officers doing? I want them stopping murders from happening, I want them preventing carjackings.”
“We’ve only had two shootings in Minneapolis this whole year, and by the way, 50 percent of them were from ICE.”
DHS says members of Congress must give week's notice to visit immigration facilities
16:17 , Ariana BaioSecretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem has changed the department’s policy on congressional visits to detention facilities, saying that lawmakers must give at least seven days' notice before visiting.
The new policy comes after a group of Minnesota lawmakers were denied access to a detention facility in Minneapolis Saturday morning – after an ICE officer fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Good.
Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement that the directive was made “to ensure the safety of staff, law enforcement, visitors, and detainees alike.”
Tom Homan blames media for ICE making people feel less safe
15:48 , Ariana BaioThe Trump administration’s border czar, Tom Homan, brushed aside concerns from protesters about immigration law enforcement making the U.S. feel less safe and blamed the media and certain lawmakers for pushing the narrative.
“How do you justify an enforcement strategy that makes so many people feel less safe?” NBC’s Meet the Press host Kristen Welker asked Sunday morning.
Homan replied: “Because of the false media reporters.”
The border czar said protesters were looking at media reporters, calling ICE bad people, or Democratic lawmakers referring to them as “secret police,” and adopting the narrative.
“It’s because of that rhetoric, that hateful rhetoric,” Homan said, pointing his finger.
Minneapolis mayor acknowledges responsibility to turn down the temperature
15:15 , Ariana BaioMinneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said Sunday that he bears a responsibility to bring down the temperature after the shooting of Renee Good but did not apologize for saying ICE needs to “get the f*** out.”
“Of course I bear responsibility to bring down the temperature. That's part of my role as mayor,” Frey told NBC’s Meet the Press when asked about his f-bomb.
“You know, to those that are offended, I'm sorry I offended their delicate ears. But as far as who inflamed the situation, you know, I dropped an F bomb. And they killed somebody. I think the killing somebody is the inflammatory element here, not the F bomb which I'm sure we've all heard before."
Noem appears combative while defending ICE officer on CNN
14:44 , Ariana BaioSecretary of Homeland Security Kirsti Noem fiercely defended the ICE officer responsible for killing Renee Nicole Good on CNN’s State of the Union Sunday morning – blaming Democrats, left-wing activists and others for changing the narrative.
Noem dismissed CNN anchor Jake Tapper’s question about whether the officer was justified in firing three shots despite being out of harm's way.
“You’re watching the same I am, correct? Yeah, you’re watching the same ones. So you see how quickly the situation unfolded,” Noem said before asserting the officer was defending himself and his colleagues.
Noem continued to speak over Tapper’s questions, claiming that Minnesota Mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz were “defrauding” people in the state and using the shooting as a distraction to allow criminals to circumvent “examination.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Tapper said.
The secretary then went on to blame the “left” and “crazy activists” for trying to undermine “our way of life.”

But former Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and police misconduct experts dispute the administration’s insistence that the use of deadly force was justified and questioned the officer’s behavior.

Saturday 10 January 2026 22:00 , Lucy LeesonDHS makes claim Good was ‘stalking’ law enforcement
Saturday 10 January 2026 21:30 , Ariana BaioThe Department of Homeland Security renewed allegations about Renee Nicole Good’s actions before an ICE officer fatally shot her this week, this time asserting she was “stalking and impeding” law enforcement over the course of the morning.
In an X post, DHS posted a witness’s video of Good’s car blocking a street – seemingly minutes before ICE confronted her and shot her.
“The media continues to fail the American people in their reporting on the events in Minneapolis,” DHS wrote. New evidence shows that the anti-ICE agitator was STALKING and IMPEDING a law enforcement operation over the course of the morning.”
The three-minute video, taken from a neighbor’s window, depicts Good’s car parked horizontally in the middle of the street, blocking traffic from passing by. Other civilian vehicles can be seen reversing down the street, upon realizing they are unable to pass Good’s maroon SUV.
Meanwhile, a group of federal law enforcement officers walk around, surveying the street. The entire time, a car is honking – though it’s unclear whose car it’s coming from.
Seconds later, Good reverses her car close to the curb, creating a path for other vehicles to get by.

The car, which was in the middle of a “significant” street, ended up rolling down the street.
“This was a car that was rolling down the street that could have hit anybody, including my own family members that live not too far from here,” Frey said in a press conference Saturday morning. “So, this is not about safety, clearly.
