- On Wednesday, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer fatally shot Renee Nicole Good near 34th Street and Portland Avenue in Minneapolis as she tried to drive away.
- Amid a federal enforcement surge, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem launched a believed 30-day operation in Minnesota, while immigrant families and community observers expressed tension and questioned agents' training.
- Federal officials described the shooting as self-defense, while video footage from the scene shows Good's car bumped a federal agent but did not appear to forcefully knock him down.
- Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara said, `I was very specific about asking if anyone else was injured` and was told only the woman, while Jacob Frey demanded ICE leave the city.
