A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent shot and killed a woman, Renee Nicole Good, after she was stopped by federal agents in Minneapolis during a raid. The incident occurred when protesters gathered to oppose the ICE operation.
According to video footage obtained by The Intercept, a red vehicle driven by Good appeared to be blocking federal agents in a roadway. When agents approached the car, they ordered her to get out, but Good instead drove away with smoke billowing from her vehicle.
Agents claimed that Good had lost control of the car and was running over their vehicles when one agent fired multiple shots at her, killing her.
However, footage shows otherwise: Good's car is seen yielding to federal agents and waving them along as they approached her vehicle, contradicting DHS' claim. The video does not show Good attempting to run over agents, contrary to DHS’ assertion that she was doing so.
Local media reported a large number of community members gathered near the site in protest following the shooting.
This is not an isolated incident; similar incidents have occurred involving ICE and Border Patrol agents using live ammunition and pepper spray against unarmed protesters.

, this is getting outta hand! They're literally killing people for protesting, what's going on? Interesting how they claim she lost control of the car but video shows otherwise... seems like a clear case of profiling and excessive force to me 
. This is not an isolated incident either, it's been happening way too much with these border patrol agents 
.
So there's this lady Renee Nicole Good just chillin', mindin' her biz, and BAM! ICE agents are like "Hey girl, get outta the car!" And she's all like *waving goodbye* 
to their plans...literally. I mean, what even is that? It's like they thought she was tryna take down the entire country or somethin'! 
. It's all about perspective, folks. The video clearly shows it wasn't a 911 situation (pun intended). 
. I just kept wavin' my hands like a crazy person and pretended I didn't know the cop's name 
. Clearly, it worked for Renee too. RIP, girl 
i'm not saying they shouldn't be held responsible, but can't we find a way to de-escalate these situations before things get violent? 
it's just so sad that Renee Nicole Good lost her life over this... and yeah, it's not an isolated incident, it's like, what are we even doing here? 
. Renee Nicole Good seemed like a normal person who was just trying to drive away from some federal agents, no need for them to use that much force 
. & another thing, why do we still have all these ICE operations going on? can't we just talk about this stuff in a civilized manner?

I think it's time for the government to re-examine its policies on immigration and law enforcement. The use of live ammunition and pepper spray against unarmed protesters raises serious concerns about police brutality and accountability. We need more transparency and oversight to ensure that our institutions are serving the greater good, not perpetuating harm and division. 
...
, it's like they think they're above the law or something. I mean, come on, a woman gets killed in a car chase and you claim she was running over agents? That's some messed up logic right there 
. I saw the footage too, and yeah, Renee Nicole Good seemed to be trying to yield to them, not run over anyone 
.
I mean, Renee was just trying to protect herself and her community (I guess, from what I saw). We can't just assume everyone's at fault or that there's only one side of the story. 
... anyway, back to this whole ICE thing. What's up with all these people being shot by cops? It's like, what's the deal? 
. This woman Renee Nicole Good was just trying to help, waving people over and stuff, and then BAM! They shoot her dead 
. I'm all for protests and exercising our rights, but we need to make sure those in power aren't using their guns to silence us 
. We need more accountability and less violence from these agents. This is just another example of systemic issues with law enforcement... ugh my heart
