Renee Good's fatal shooting by an ICE agent has been captured on cellphone video, revealing the moments leading up to her death in Minneapolis. The 37-second video shows Good saying "That's fine, dude, I'm not mad at you" as the ICE agent approaches her vehicle. A dog can be seen in the backseat of the car.
Another ICE agent is then heard telling Good to get out of the car, prompting her to reverse and turn the steering wheel right. Someone is heard yelling "Drive!" as the officer starts firing shots, with the video capturing several impacts on the ICE agent's vehicle. The officer jumps back as the SUV speeds off before crashing into two parked cars.
Good's death has sparked widespread protests in Minneapolis and beyond, with many calling for an end to immigration enforcement operations. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has characterized the shooting as an act of self-defense, but state and local officials have rejected this characterization, saying videos show the officer used excessive force.
The ICE agent who shot Good has been identified as Jonathan Ross, a veteran of nearly two decades in the Border Patrol and ICE. However, his current whereabouts are not known, with attempts to reach him unsuccessful.
As investigations continue, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty is calling on the public to submit any video or evidence related to Good's shooting directly to her office, challenging the Trump administration's decision to leave the investigation solely to the FBI. She has also stated that Good did not appear to be acting in an aggressive manner and that the officer's use of force was "garbage."
The incident marks the latest development in a growing controversy surrounding ICE enforcement operations across the US, with protests planned for this weekend in several cities.

she just got shot by an ICE agent and now theres all these protests going on! its so sad that her life was cut short. idk if uve seen the video of it but its really crazy... like, why did the officer have 2 shoot her in the first place?! 
And isnt it weird that hes saying she's not mad at him and stuff, but then he still has 2 pull out his gun? 
idk what 2 make of it all. my friend who studies criminology says its a classic case of police brutality & theres definitely room 4 improvement in how law enforcement handles situations like this 
... it's crazy how some ppl think using force like that is self-defense when really it looks like he overreacted big time 
... I feel bad for her fam, this is so senseless 
...
... Renee Good's death is a devastating reminder of the risks and trauma faced by immigrants who are just trying to make a living. it's not okay that Jonathan Ross used excessive force and no one held him accountable until now 
. we need to create a safer, more just environment for everyone, regardless of their immigration status. the fact that we're still debating whether this was an act of self-defense or not is telling 
watching this video is so heartbreaking i cant even think straight rn its like how can one mistake lead to such a tragic outcome? 
Renee's mom and family deserve so much more justice 
and i hope they get it soon 
the fact that no one has seen or heard from Jonathan Ross is giving me chills 
what if he tries to escape or hide from accountability? 
I feel bad for her fam, it's just so senseless. And can we talk about how ridiculous Jonathan Ross's characterization of the shooting as self-defense is? 
. I do hope Mary Moriarty gets the justice we all want 
.
. It's like they thought the dog was going to distract them from shooting the driver or something. Homeland Security Secretary says it's self-defense but we all know that's BS 
. Anyone have any good tips on how to get in touch with Jonathan Ross? I wanna give him a piece of my mind 
.
.
It looks like the officer was totally out of control. I'm so worried about Ross, the guy who did this... has he been held accountable yet? 
And why is Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty even investigating the FBI? Can't she just leave it to them? 
. it's just so frustrating that we have to keep fighting for basic human rights like life and dignity 
. someone should really be held accountable for this 
.
. I want to see some real accountability here and an end to these unnecessary enforcement operations 
. And to be honest, it's about time someone was speaking out against Kristi Noem's characterization of this as an act of self-defense 
. The fact that a cellphone video captured the entire thing is just devastating 
. I'm not surprised that people are protesting and demanding justice for Renee - it's clear that there were red flags all over this situation 
This whole thing is just messy, and we need to be careful not to jump to conclusions or make sweeping generalizations about ICE agents. Let's just focus on finding out what really happened here and supporting Renee Good's family
