"Gov. Tim Walz insisted Thursday, pushing back against the Trump administration's decision to keep the investigation solely in federal hands. A day after the ICE officer shot Renee Good in the head as she tried to drive away on a snowy Minneapolis street, tensions remained high, with dozens of protesters venting their outrage outside of a federal facility that's serving as a hub for the administration's latest immigration crackdown on a major city."
""We should be horrified," protester Shanta Hejmadi said as demonstrators shouted "No More ICE," "Go Home Nazis," and other slogans at a line of Border Patrol officers, who responded with tear gas and pepper spray. "We should be saddened that our government is waging war on our citizens. We should get out and say no. What else can we do?""
"Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, President Donald Trump and others in his administration characterized the shooting as an act of self-defense and cast Good as a villain, suggesting she used her vehicle as a weapon to attack the officer who shot her. Vice President JD Vance weighed in Thursday, saying the shooting was justified and that Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, was a "victim of left-wing ideology.""
Minnesota officials demand participation in the probe of Renee Good's fatal shooting by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer after the federal government retained sole control. The officer shot Good in the head as she tried to drive away on a snowy Minneapolis street during an immigration operation. Dozens of protesters gathered outside a federal facility, and Border Patrol officers used tear gas and pepper spray. Senior administration figures defended the officer as acting in self-defense and portrayed Good as a threat, while state and local leaders and protesters rejected that characterization.
