An officer from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was involved in a deadly incident with Renee Nicole Good. This officer had previously been injured in June when a vehicle, driven by an undocumented immigrant with a history of sex offenses, dragged him, according to reports.

In June, authorities arrested Roberto Carlos Munoz-Guatemala, whom the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has labeled a “serial criminal illegal alien.” The arrest followed an incident in Bloomington, Minnesota, where Munoz-Guatemala allegedly dragged the ICE officer 50 yards with his vehicle while attempting to escape arrest.

During a traffic stop, Munoz-Guatemala reportedly refused to exit his car and attempted to flee. The DHS stated that the officer had his arm inside the vehicle when Munoz-Guatemala drove off, resulting in the officer sustaining injuries that required hospitalization.

Tricia McLaughlin, DHS Assistant Secretary, commented at the time that Munoz-Guatemala had been involved in violent activities in the United States for nearly 15 years. She noted his conviction for child sex offenses and mentioned his record, which includes domestic assault and several driving violations.

Roberto Carlos Munoz-Guatemala is accused of dragging the ICE officer with his car in an effort to evade law enforcement. Notably, the same officer was reported to have fatally shot Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis several months thereafter.

Back in June, McLaughlin criticized Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, stating, “Under Governor Tim Walz, this individual was living in Minnesota without consequence.” She urged the governor to support law enforcement efforts instead of criticizing ICE officers, comparing them to the Gestapo, and emphasized the importance of apprehending violent criminals.

DHS said it was unknown when Munoz-Guatemala entered the country from Mexico, but the department added that his rap sheet in the U.S. dated back to 2010. The department said that Munoz-Guatemala had previously been arrested for domestic assault and was convicted of sex crimes against an underage victim. Munoz-Guatemala was also convicted of driving without a valid license and was charged multiple times for driving illegally. DHS said ICE first lodged a detainer on him in 2013.

On Thursday, when speaking to reporters at the White House, Vice President JD Vance scolded the media for not mentioning that the same ICE officer who shot Good was previously seriously injured during the car-dragging incident.

“The way that the media, by and large, has reported this story has been an absolute disgrace. And it puts our law enforcement officers at risk every single day,” Vance said. “What that headline leaves out is the fact that that very ICE officer nearly had his life ended, dragged by a car six months ago, 33 stitches in his leg. So you think maybe he’s a little bit sensitive about somebody ramming him with an automobile?”

The vice president was referring specifically to a CNN headline on the shooting in Minneapolis that read: “Outrage after ICE officer kills U.S. citizen in Minneapolis.”

Good was shot and killed during an interaction with the ICE officer on Wednesday. Since then, protests have erupted in Minneapolis and across the U.S. Local officials, such as Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, have slammed the ICE officer’s actions. Meanwhile, federal officials have said the agent acted in self-defense and labeled Good’s actions leading up to the shooting as “an act of domestic terrorism.” Several Democrats have rejected the self-defense assertion.

Cellphone video footage released Friday shows the moments that led to the fatal shooting. The video, which was filmed from the ICE officer’s vantage point, shows Good’s Honda Pilot parked in the middle of a residential street, appearing to block traffic.

The agent walks around the vehicle to check the license plate. Seconds later, another agent walks toward the driver’s side of Good’s vehicle and orders Good to get out.

“Get out of the car. Get out of the f—— car,” the agent says.

Good then backs up the vehicle before moving it forward toward the agent wearing the body camera. He is heard saying “whoa” before shots ring out.
