Democrats Seek to Rein in ICE, Noem After Fatal Minneapolis Shooting
Minnesota Democrats seek independent review as federal government blocks state access to evidence in Renee Good's fatal shooting by ICE agent, sparking local calls for transparency.
- On Jan. 7 in Minneapolis, an ICE officer fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, prompting Minnesota Democrats including Gov. Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and U.S. Sen. Tina Smith to demand state involvement and an independent review.
- The Trump administration defended ICE agent Jonathan Ross, saying Good drove toward him, while federal officials blocked state investigators from evidence and spotlighted Minnesota's welfare-fraud allegations.
- The White House said, `The Department of Homeland Security is on the ground conducting door-to-door investigations of suspected fraud sites in Minnesota, with hundreds of officers in the state and more on the way` and announced about 2,000 ICE agents flooding into Minneapolis.
- Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison launched an independent review into Good's killing, while a judge temporarily blocked the federal move on Jan. 9 as the FBI cut evidence access for the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.
- Updated Jan. 11, 2026, the feud between President Donald Trump and Gov. Tim Walz has intensified following the freezing of over $10 billion in federal child care and family assistance funds to Minnesota and other states.
