Killing of Renee Good

On January 7, 2026, Renee Good, a 37-year-old American citizen, was fatally shot by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent[a] Jonathan Ross[b] in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Good was in her car, stopped sideways in the street when Ross drove around her vehicle and returned on foot. Other agents approached, and one told her to get out while reaching into her car through her open window. Ross moved to the front-left of the vehicle as Good briefly reversed, then began driving into the direction of traffic while turning away from Ross. While remaining upright, Ross fired three shots, killing her: one through the windshield, then two through the open driver's side window from the side of her vehicle as it passed him. He later drove away from the scene. Analysts have not conclusively determined whether or not the vehicle struck Ross at any time, although The New York Times and The Times each determined that her SUV did hit him.

Federal law enforcement officials and President Donald Trump defended the shooting, saying the agent acted in self-defense and that Good ran him over. This account has been contested by eyewitnesses, journalists,[5] and Democratic Party lawmakers, some of whom have called for a criminal investigation.[6] Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota governor Tim Walz called on ICE to end their presence in the city. Thousands have protested in Minneapolis,[7] and more have protested in other cities including Chicago, New York City, and Washington, D.C.[8]
