During one of the many “neighborhood patrols” aimed at observing and documenting ICE activities, Good found herself in a tense situation, as related by family members and local activists.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, a known Democrat, has openly criticized the federal narrative, calling it a “garbage narrative.” Bystander footage, which has circulated widely, supports the view of civil liberties advocates who argue that federal agents had no just cause for resorting to lethal force.

This incident in Minneapolis is not isolated; similar federal-state tensions erupted in Portland, Oregon. There, a U.S. Border Patrol agent shot and injured two individuals in their vehicle following an attempted stop. Echoing the Minneapolis case, the Department of Homeland Security claimed that the driver attempted to “weaponize” the vehicle against agents.

The presence of federal agents in Minneapolis comes in the wake of President Trump’s recent critiques of Governor Walz and the state’s significant Somali immigrant community. These critiques stem from accusations of fraud involving nonprofit organizations managing childcare and other social services, originally surfacing in 2020.

The officer involved in the Minneapolis shooting, identified as Jonathan Ross through official comments and public records, captured the incident on his body camera. The footage reveals Good in a composed state, even reassuring the officer with, “That’s fine, dude, I’m not mad at you,” moments before Ross fired as she drove into the street, deliberately steering away from him.

Video evidence

Video filmed by the officer who opened fire, identified through official comment and public records as Jonathan Ross, shows Good appearing calm. She is heard telling him, “That’s fine, dude, I’m not mad at you” – moments before he opens fire as she drives forward into the street, steering the car away from him.
