Why These Mass. Lawmakers Say ICE Agents Should Lose a Key Legal Protection

Federal agents in Minneapolis have escalated enforcement actions amid protests, with a three-fold increase in ICE funding linked to aggressive tactics including a fatal shooting.

  • On Jan. 7, 2026, Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old Minneapolis mother of three, was fatally shot by ICE agent Jonathan Ross who fired through her SUV's driver-side windshield.
  • This past week, a federal crackdown expanded in Minneapolis after orders from the White House, swelling ICE and Border Patrol presence with officials saying more officers will arrive to operate safely.
  • Investigative reporting documents chokeholds and other breath-restricting moves by ICE, with ProPublica finding more than 40 cases and agents also using tear gas, tasers, and firearms.
  • Minneapolis residents have staged protests and faced detentions after tear gas deployments on Jan. 12, 2026, while Rep. Jared Moskowitz sharply criticized Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
  • The American Immigration Council reports legislation expanded federal enforcement funding to $45 billion for detention centers and nearly $30 billion for ICE, while critics warn poor vetting has fueled risky agent behavior this year.
