An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer has shot and killed a driver in the U.S. state of Minnesota.
It came during a widespread immigration raid across the state.
The homeland security agency has said the officer feared for his life. However, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said “that is bullshit”.
The shooting victim has been identified as 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, a U.S. citizen.
ICE Raids
ICE is the federal agency responsible for enforcing immigration laws and deporting people who are in the U.S. without legal permission.
When Trump returned to office in January 2025, he pushed to increase arrests to 3,000 people per day by mid-2025, up from a few hundred under the Biden administration.
Videos of ICE raids have shown agents using aggressive measures, sparking frequent protests.
In 2025, ICE says it deported at least 622,000 people.

Shooting
This week, ICE said 2,000 federal agents were sent to the Minneapolis area to carry out the “largest immigration operation ever”.
On Wednesday, Homeland Security said they were conducting these operations when “rioters began blocking ICE officers”. This resulted in a federal officer shooting and killing a driver.
It was captured on video and posted to social media.
Response
The U.S. Department of Homeland defended the officer’s actions, saying he was “fearing for his life”, when a “violent rioter...weaponised her vehicle”.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey described this characterisation as “garbage”, calling on the ICE agents to leave the state, saying they were causing “chaos and distrust”.
U.S. President Donald Trump blamed the incident on the “Radical Left”, who he says are “targeting ICE agents” on a daily basis.
Hundreds of anti-ICE protestors have turned out at the scene of the shooting.
