Governor Tim Walz activated Minnesota’s National Guard after an ICE officer fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Good during a massive federal immigration operation in Minneapolis, sparking a dangerous confrontation between state and federal authorities over the Trump administration’s enforcement tactics. Federal Operation Turns Deadly in Minneapolis Neighborhood On Wednesday morning, an ICE officer shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Good in her SUV near Portland Avenue South and East 33rd Street during what DHS described as the largest federal immigration enforcement operation in Twin Cities history. The shooting occurred around 9:30 a.m. as over 2,000 federal agents and officers conducted raids targeting alleged fraud involving Somali residents. Good’s vehicle crashed into another car and a pole after the shooting, where she was pronounced dead at the scene. DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin claimed Good “weaponized” her vehicle and attempted to ram agents, justifying the officer’s use of deadly force as defensive action. However, circulating bystander and surveillance video show agents surrounding the vehicle, shouting commands, with Good’s SUV backing up before moving forward when an officer at the front bumper fired multiple shots. Minnesota Governor Challenges Federal Narrative Governor Tim Walz immediately activated the State Emergency Operations Center and issued a warning order to the Minnesota National Guard, placing them on standby for potential deployment. Walz publicly disputed the federal account, warning citizens against believing DHS’s “propaganda machine” and pledging a “full, fair, and expeditious investigation” to ensure accountability and justice. His strong response reflects growing tension between conservative-led federal immigration enforcement and liberal state officials who oppose aggressive tactics. Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara had warned just one day before the shooting that the heavy federal presence could result in someone being killed. O’Hara reported confusion at the scene, noting that initial information he received did not include any report of an injured ICE officer, highlighting inconsistencies in early federal accounts. Mayor Jacob Frey joined state officials in demanding an independent investigation by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and FBI. Pattern of Immigration Enforcement Fatalities Emerges The Minneapolis shooting represents at least the fifth person killed during immigration enforcement operations across several states since 2024, indicating a concerning pattern as the Trump administration intensifies interior enforcement. The unnamed ICE officer involved had previously been in an incident with an “anti-ICE rioter” in June and was hospitalized after this shooting before being released. His identity remains undisclosed as both federal and state investigations proceed, though no charging decisions have been announced. The incident immediately triggered protests and confrontations between federal agents and demonstrators near the shooting site, forcing Minneapolis schools to cancel activities due to safety concerns. While Walz urged peaceful protest, the mobilization of emergency resources and National Guard warning order demonstrates the serious potential for escalation. This federal-state clash over immigration enforcement methods could set precedent for how deadly force incidents involving federal officers are investigated and prosecuted in future operations.
