Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is preparing the state’s National Guard after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis.
Walz announced Thursday he is authorizing the Minnesota National Guard to be “staged and ready” as protesters gather in Minneapolis. This comes as reports indicate the ICE officer who shot Good has been identified as Jonathan Ross. Federal officials described Ross as “an experienced” officer, according to The Minnesota Star Tribune.
At a White House press briefing Thursday, Vice President JD Vance said Good “violated the law” and committed an act of “terrorism.”
“She was trying to ram this guy with her car,” Vance said. He added that her death was “a tragedy of her own making.”
Videos, taken by bystanders at the scene, do not support the allegation that Good was attempting to hit the agent, according to an analysis by The New York Times.
Good’s ex-husband, who asked not be be named, told the Associated Press that she had driven her young son to school shortly before she was shot in the head by the ICE agent.
Earlier Thursday, Walz slammed the Trump administration's decision to bar state officials from participating in the shooting investigation.
“I just want to make this clear for everyone: Minnesota must be part of this investigation,” Walz said after the U.S. Attorney’s Office, which operates under the Justice Department, decided that the Federal Bureau of Investigation would solely handle the probe.

WWE star and former Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura spotted at Minneapolis high school
23:48 , Katie HawkinsonJesse Ventura, a former WWE star who served as Minnesota’s governor from 1999 to 2003, was spotted Thursday at Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis, according to Fox 9 News.
Ventura’s visit follows a confrontation involving ICE near the school on Wednesday, Fox 9 News reports.
“Good for these people who stood up. They're teaching their students something, that we are a country, we have to be a country of law and a country of the Constitution,” Ventura told the outlet.
Footage showed ICE agents amid a crowd of people outside the school on Wednesday afternoon, Fox 9 News reports. The Minneapolis Federation of Educators said one of their members was detained during the incident and has since been released.
A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson told Fox 9 that agents were chasing an individual accused of impeding their activity earlier in the day. The chase ended near the school.
"While the subject was being removed from his vehicle, an individual who identified himself as a teacher proceeded to assault a border patrol agent. While this was happening, a crowd began to form and grow — rioters threw objects and dispersed paint on the officers and their vehicles,” the spokesperson said.

23:35 , Brendan RasciusThe Department of Homeland Security said on Thursday that it will not release the name of the ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Good in Minneapolis after several news outlets identified him as Jonathan Ross.

She did, however, provide some information about the agent.
“This officer is a longtime ICE officer who has been serving his country his entire life,” she said, noting that he has more than a decade of experience working for ICE.
Three-time Trump voter joins Minneapolis protests
23:29 , Katie HawkinsonA three-time voter for President Donald Trump has revealed he’s joining the anti-ICE protests in Minneapolis.
Cassius Pryce told MS NOW he is a “die-hard Trump supporter,” but is now “very disappointed” in the president.
“My message to Trump is, you know, let's go about it the right way. I know that we're trying to hit immigration and do the laws with that. Let's follow the laws, follow the Constitution, there's no rewriting that,” Price said.
He went on to push back against the Trump administration’s characterization of the incident. Federal officials have accused Good of “weaponizing her vehicle” and said the ICE officer, reportedly identified as Jonathan Ross, shot her in self-defense.
“Obviously, if you’ve seen the video, the lady, she did not try to hit Jonathan Ross. She was obviously afraid,” Price told MS Now.

“Those kids were tear-gassed on their way to celebrate Halloween in their local school parking lot,” Illinois District Judge Sara Ellis said at the time.
“These kids, you can imagine, their sense of safety was shattered ... and it’s gonna take a long time for that to come back, if ever,” she added.
Meanwhile, Homeland Security officials argued that “rioters” had “surrounded” and “attacked” agents in the Chicago area.

Minnesota officials are 'exploring all options' to ensure their involvement in ICE shooting probe
21:30 , Brendan RasciusOfficials in Minnesota are “exploring all options” to ensure their involvement in the investigation into the fatal shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis yesterday.
"After the FBI rescinded its cooperation agreement with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, our office immediately began exploring all options to ensure a state level investigation can continue,” Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said in a statement on Thursday afternoon.
“If the FBI is the sole investigative agency, the State will not receive the investigative findings, and our community may never learn about its contents,” Moriarty said.

ICE agent who shot Good was 'dragged' by car during enforcement operation last year, report says
21:07 , Brendan RasciusJonathan Ross, the ICE agent who fatally shot Renee Good on Wednesday, was dragged by a vehicle and injured during an immigration enforcement operation last year, according to a new report.
In June, Ross attempted to detain Roberto Carlos Munoz-Guatemala, a Mexican man with a criminal record, while he was driving in Bloomington, The Minnesota Star Tribune reported on Thursday.
When Munoz-Guatemala didn’t comply with orders from agents, Ross broke the car’s rear window and tried to unlock the door. Munoz-Guatemala then accelerated, dragging Ross roughly 300 feet before he was “knocked” from the car.
As a result of the incident, Ross needed 20 stitches on his arm and 13 more on his hand, according to court documents seen by the outlet. Munoz-Guatemala was later convicted of assaulting an officer.
Without naming Ross, Vice President JD Vance mentioned in a press conference on Thursday that the agent who killed Good had previously been assaulted.

BREAKING NEWS: ICE agent who fatally shot woman in Minnesota is identified
20:17 , Louise BoyleThe Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent who fatally shot a 37-year-old woman in Minneapolis has been identified as Jonathan Ross, an officer who was dragged and injured by a fleeing driver in a separate incident last year, according to reports.
Court documents obtained by Newsweek identified the agent involved in Wednesday’s fatal shooting as Ross, who was also involved in the June 2025 apprehension of Roberto Carlos Munoz-Guatemala, a convicted sex offender, in Bloomington, Minnesota.
Federal officials have described Ross as “an experienced” officer, The Minnesota Star Tribune reported.
During the June operation, Ross’s arm became stuck in the window of a suspect’s vehicle, and he was dragged roughly 100 yards down the street. At the time, Ross fired his Taser and hit the driver, but failed to stop the vehicle.

19:25 , Brendan RasciusVice President JD Vance said that Renee Nicole Good, the 37-year-old woman killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis yesterday, “violated the law” and committed an act of “terrorism.”
During a press conference on Thursday afternoon, Vance expressed outrage at members of the media for their reporting on the deadly incident.
“You people in the media…have been lying about this attack,” the Republican vice president said. “She was trying to ram this guy with her car…he shot back, he defended himself.”
“This is classic terrorism,” he said. “The idea that this was not justified is absurd.”
Video footage of the incident contradicts Vance’s description of the events. An analysis of footage by The New York Times concluded that the ICE agent was not rammed or about to be rammed, and that he fired several shots while standing next to the vehicle.

Tim Walz demands that state officials participate in investigation into ICE shooting
18:14 , Brendan RasciusMinnesota Governor Tim Walz slammed the federal government’s decision to bar state officials from participating in the investigation into the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis yesterday.
“I just want to make this clear for everyone: Minnesota must be part of this investigation,” Walz said on Thursday after the U.S. Attorney’s Office decided that the FBI would solely handle the probe.
Without state involvement, Walz said Minnesotans will distrust the investigation's findings.
“It feels very, very difficult that we will get a fair outcome,” the governor, a Democrat, said during an afternoon press conference. “And I say that only because people in positions of power have already passed judgement, from the president to the vice president to Kristi Noem have stood and told you things that are verifiably false.”
“The only way we find answers is a thorough investigation by non-partisan professionals,” he said.
Walz added that he himself has yet to make a determination on what exactly happened.
“I don’t have a predetermined notion,” he said. “Yes, I saw the video…but a thorough investigation will see what happened before that. It will take all factors in.”

Kristi Noem says ICE agent who shot Good was 'hit' and hospitalized
17:45 , Brendan RasciusSecretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem said that the ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis yesterday was hospitalized after being “hit” by Good’s car.

Her comments come after President Trump claimed in a post on Truth Social that Good “viciously ran over the ICE Officer,” adding, “it is hard to believe he is alive.”
However, bystander footage from the scene contradicts the administration’s account. A multi-angle analysis by The New York Times found that the agent was neither run over nor in danger of being struck.
He fired several shots at Good while standing next to her vehicle.

New York Times video analysis challenges Trump administration's narrative of ICE shooting
16:40 , Brendan RasciusAn analysis of bystander footage from yesterday’s ICE shooting in Minneapolis challenges the Trump administration’s assertion that the agent acted in self-defense while being run over.
The analysis, which included multiple angles of the incident, “appears to show the victim was not in the path of the SUV when [the agent] fired three shots at close range,” The New York Times reported on Thursday.
“The moment the agent fires, he is standing…to the left of the SUV, and the wheels are pointing to the right, away from the agent,” the outlet continued.
The Times stated that the agent was not run over or about to be run over.

“Our hearts and prayers go out to everyone involved in this situation, but at the end of the day, what keeps me up is the safety of the men and women of ICE,” he said.

Minneapolis police chief said a handgun is not 'effective at stopping' a vehicle
16:05 , Brendan RasciusMinneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said said that a handgun is not useful for stopping a vehicle, following yesterday’s shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent.
“The reality is firing a handgun at someone driving a car is not particularly effective at stopping the vehicle,” O’Hara told CNN on Thursday.
He added that tensions had been mounting for weeks leading up to the fatal incident.
“I have very publicly been saying that I have been concerned, both number one, that a tragedy would occur — that either a federal law enforcement officer or a civilian member of the community would get seriously hurt or killed — and also that such heightened tensions and so many emotions around these issues could lead to civil unrest, which is something that our city was, the center of truly the worst and most destructive civil unrest in our country’s history five years ago,” O’Hara said.

Lawmakers’ reactions to ICE shooting highlight deep partisan rift
15:35 , Brendan RasciusIn the aftermath of the fatal ICE shooting of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis yesterday, reactions from lawmakers were sharply divided.
Democrats denounced ICE, accused the officer of acting recklessly and pushed back against the administration’s claims that the officer’s life was in danger.
“This was not self-defense,” Rep. Maxine Dexter, an Oregon Democrat, wrote on X this morning. “This was murder.”
“ICE’s actions today were unconscionable and reprehensible,” Rep. Ilhan Omar, a Minnesota Democrat, wrote on X last night. “I am beyond outraged that their reckless, callous actions led to the killing of a legal observer in Minneapolis. My heart breaks for the victim’s family, who will have to forever live with the pain caused by the Trump Administration's reckless and deadly actions.”
Meanwhile, Republicans argued that Good had attempted to ram the officer with her car, with some accusing her of engaging in terrorism.
“This was a clear act of domestic terrorism,” Rep. Nancy Mace, a South Carolina Republican, wrote on X this morning. “A vehicle was used as a weapon against federal officers. After years of demonizing cops, Democrats now own the consequences.”
“Good morning. Don't try and run over any ICE agents today,” Rep Mike Collins, a Georgia Republican, wrote in a post.

JD Vance says ICE agent acted in self defense
14:00 , Brendan RasciusVice President JD Vance called the ICE shooting of Renee Nicole Good an act of self-defense, stating that she tried to strike the agent with her car.
“The gaslighting is off the charts and I'm having none of it,” Vance wrote in a post on X this morning. “This guy was doing his job. She tried to stop him from doing his job. When he approached her car, she tried to hit him.”
He said that Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, had her car “pointed” at the agent and that she “clearly” hit him while accelerating.
“A tragedy? Absolutely,” he added. “But a tragedy that falls on this woman and all of the radicals who teach people that immigration is the one type of law that rioters are allowed to interfere with.”
Video footage of the incident seems to contradict Vance’s account. It does not appear to show Good’s car striking the agent, who fired multiple shots while standing beside the vehicle.
This is preposterous.

“This is yet another clear example that fear and violence have sadly become commonplace in our nation,” the head of the university, located in Virrginia, said. “Indeed, this tragedy reflects the deep strain being felt in countless communities across our nation. As citizens, it is our duty and right to call upon leaders and officials to restore civility in all facets of our lives, especially at the hands of those who are entrusted to protect and serve.”

However, a strict caveat in the rule requires agents to only open fire if “no other objectively reasonable means of defense is available.”

Noem facing impeachment threat over ICE shooting
10:40 , Joe SommerladHomeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem claimed yesterday during an appearance in Texas that Renee Good had attempted to ram her ICE agents in Minneapolis, leaving the officer responsible with no choice but to fire on her in self-defense, calling the deceased’s actions an act of “domestic terrorism.”

Illinois Democratic Rep. Robin Kelly has since said she plans to bring an impeachment resolution against Noem, calling her “an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.”

She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to…
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries meanwhile called the secretary “a stone-cold liar who has zero credibility.”

There is nothing to suggest the shooting of an unarmed woman in Minneapolis was justified.
This heinous killing must be criminally investigated to the full extent of the law.
Trump’s claim that officer was injured in shooting contradicted
10:20 , Joe SommerladThe president took to Truth Social yesterday and said of the deadly incident in Minneapolis: “The woman screaming was, obviously, a professional agitator, and 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 added: “Based on the attached clip, it is hard to believe he is alive, but is now recovering in the hospital.”
However, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara told CNN last night that no one else had been hurt other than the victim.
BREAKING: Minneapolis Police, chief Brian O'Hara just contradicted Trump, saying that Renee Nicole Good was the only person injured during today's incident, after Trump said that the ICE officer was injured and recovering in the hospital.

Family say Renee Nicole Good was murdered by ICE

Why is ICE in Minneapolis?
05:50 , Shweta SharmaThe Trump administration deployed an additional 2,000 federal agents to the Minneapolis area in recent weeks in response to allegations of welfare fraud in the state.
Speaking at a Wednesday press conference, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said the ICE deployment was not making the city safer.
“They’re ripping families apart, they’re sowing chaos in our streets,” he said.
The deployment, which began on Sunday, is among the largest concentrations of Department of Homeland Security personnel in a U.S. city in recent years.
It follows an immigration enforcement campaign launched by ICE late last year targeting individuals with deportation orders in Minneapolis, including members of the city’s Somali community.
The Somali community has frequently been criticised by President Trump, who has called them “garbage” and said: “I don’t want them in our country. I’ll be honest with you. Their country’s no good for a reason. Their country stinks.”
Trump later doubled down on his remarks following a YouTube video by a conservative content creator alleging mass fraud at daycare centres run by Somali immigrants.
In response, the administration has withheld federal childcare funds from Minnesota.
ICE agents have also been deployed to other cities across the U.S., making thousands of arrests as part of what the administration describes as a crackdown on crime and undocumented immigrants.
Sen. Amy Klobuchar speaks out on fatal shooting by ICE agents
05:38 , Shweta SharmaMinnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar reacted to the fatal shooting of Renee Good by ICE agents in Minneapolis on Wednesday, calling for full transparency.
"I am praying for the family and loved ones of the woman who was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis this morning. This tragedy is the result of the administration sending federal agents onto our streets against the wishes of local law enforcement, including our respected Police Chief Brian O'Hara,” she wrote.
“We need full transparency and an investigation of what happened, and I am deeply concerned that statements made by DHS do not appear to reflect video evidence and on-the-ground accounts.
“While our immigration enforcement should be focused on apprehending and prosecuting violent criminals to make our communities safer, these ICE actions are doing the opposite and making our state less safe."
Driver shot in Minneapolis is at least the fifth person killed in US immigration crackdown
05:21 , Shweta SharmaThe fatal shooting of a woman by ICE agents in Minneapolis is at least the fifth death in the wake of the Trump administration’s aggressive U.S. immigration crackdown.
The Department of Homeland Security said the officer fired in self-defense as 37-year-old Renee Nicole Macklin Good tried to run down officers with her vehicle.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said video of the incident showed it was reckless and unnecessary.
Last September, Immigration and Customs Enforcement fatally shot another person outside Chicago.
Two people have died after being struck by vehicles while fleeing immigration authorities. And a California farmworker fell from a greenhouse and broke his neck during an ICE raid last July.
No officers or agents have been charged in the deaths.Those killed so far are:
