Minneapolis ICE Shooting; Did They Kill an Infant?

Jonathan Ross, an immigration and customs enforcement agent, shot and killed Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis last week. The ICE officer fired 3 shots while the 37-year-old was inside her SUV. She immediately passed away at the scene. It was quickly discovered that the mother of three was involved in her son’s school community, serving on the board of a tiny charter School that shared resources, urging parents to participate in peaceful protest training and watch ICE activity.

These ties, according to federal investigators, are crucial to their investigation into the shooting. The incident happened after Good used her SUV to partially obstruct an ICE operation. But nothing is definitive.

The Incident’s Disputed Circumstances

Vice President JD Vance on X supported the Department of Homeland Security’s claim that the agent acted in self-defense when Good reported me tried to use her car against Federal officers. “His life was endangered, and he fired in self-defence,” the Vice President said.

However, Local authorities such as Mayor Jacob Frey of Minneapolis have vehemently denied that narrative. Frey has referred to any justification for self-defence as “garbage,” while bystander footage of the interaction has revealed different opinions over whether Good constituted an immediate threat.

Who was Renee Good?

Renee Nicole Good, 37, was a mother of three and a citizen of the United States. She is a calm and kind person, according to her family and neighbours. Local footage seems to show her trying to drive away from Federal officers rather than aggressively pursuing them. Her mother stated that she “was probably terrified” during the event.

Since then, her family has sought accountability and openness from Federal authorities by hiring civil rights lawyer Antonio Romanucci, who is well known for having represented George Floyd’s family.

What happened to the Infant in Minneapolis?

Federal authorities used tear gas during protests on Wednesday night, resulting in the hospitalisation of two children. The two children included a six-month-old infant, according to the Minneapolis Office of Community Safety. According to officials, the baby started having respiratory problems after being inside a car that was hit by tear gas.

The agency stated in a statement that the family relocated the baby to a nearby house, where there were allegations that the kids had momentarily stopped breathing. To get to the house and administer emergency care, Minneapolis police officers and firefighters had to navigate through the people.
